Just open up a command line, change directory to your Desktop, and type:

    attrib +h "Microsoft Edge.lnk"

Then you never have to see it again.

That command sets the "Microsoft Edge.Ink" file as hidden, for those who were wondering.

Unless you have set hidden files as visible as some of us do.

You can add +s into the mix for "system file", AFAIK (this may have changed with recent versions of Windows 10 / 11) it is then controlled by the seperate "Hide Protected System Files" setting.

(But doesn't help if that setting is also disabled)
