[BUG] Microsoft Edge installed despite being removed

[georgetian3]

I removed Microsoft Edge using Optimize Offline, which is reflected by the logs. However, upon booting the optimized ISO in Virtualbox, Edge is still installed, and I receive a notification about 'try the new Edge'.

Below are the config and log files:

Configuration.json

{
  "_Info": [
    "This is a JSON based Configuration file for Optimize-Offline.",
    "Ensure proper formatting is used when editing the JSON parameter values.",
    "Boolean parameter values use true and false. String parameter values must be enclosed in double-quotes."
