I dont like this program, Edge, on little bit.
I never asked for it, but it just happened.
Any idea how I can remove.

Which OS are you using?
This is for W10

To uninstall Microsoft Edge, use these steps:

Open Settings.
Click on Apps.
Click on Apps & features.
Select the Microsoft Edge item.
Click the Uninstall button. Source: Windows Central.
Click the Uninstall button again.
(Optional) Select the Also clear your browsing data option.
Click the Uninstall button.

I see that you cant uninstall it as such at least in W10, because it's been part of the OS since last June.

As it will probably come back in the next update/upgrade of Windows 10 I prefer to just leave it but:
Unpin it from your Start Menu Icons (Click Start, then Right Click Start Menu Icon for Microsoft Edge, then Right Click and then select "Unpin from Start"
If it is on you Taskbar Right Click the Microsoft Edge Icon the select "Unpin from Taskbar"

Change your Default App Settings as follows:
Click Settings
Then Click Apps, then default Apps
Scroll down to Web Browser
Click the Icon (if "Edge")
Select the Default Browser you prefer (I use Google Chrome as my Default Browser)
I do use Edge and Firefox and sometimes Brave (i have them on my Taskbar)

Yeah I wouldn't remove Edge, as it's heavily integrated into the OS itself...you may find other things breaking or not working correctly within the OS... proceed with caution.

This is the way to fix it for you. It cannot actually be removed and as chiefnz says you are likely to give yourself problems if you try to do so.

Simple -- If you dont want to use Edge, then don't. Install What ever browser you prefer, and as its been directed set that as the Default.

"According to Microsoft blog posts and answers to user's questions, the new Edge browser cannot, and should not, be uninstalled from a Windows 10 computer."
stop fiddling, DO NOT try & remove it .
MS decide what you want , we need to learn to live with the MS overlords dictates

Some weird programs can have issues if its removed (some programs wont use the default browser & require IE/Edge)
Just ignore it . Install chrome , FF , whatever .
