Windows 10: How do I remove Edge Ads from Start Menu Search?

Is it possible to permanently remove this pop-up and all other pop-ups like this from the start menu search. Clicking the x only causes it to reappear again every so often. Is there any registry edit or 3rd party app or something that permanently disables this? I'm on Windows 10 Home Build 19044.

The shortcut is not listed in the start menu folders...

And I'm surprised you see Edge at all if you've done as suggested..

 

Attempting to remove EDGE from the Start menu alphabetical listing

Thank you guys so much for the replies. So a bit of things I have tried was renaming the files so they should not launch. I have added the new file names in the GPO as restricted apps to not be able to be used but the edge app is still listed in the start menu. and just clicking on it rings up a dead edge window prompting you of the lack of internet connection. But if you type C:\ in the bar it will open a file explorer in the root of C. i have been fighting with this new image for about 2 weeks now. It is locked down very tight. And the final step is doing away with the Edge icon. If i could just permanently hide or delete that icon I would be thoroughly finished. Thank you so much for your replies and I did follow those steps which did help to a certain extent. But since the application is still installed I guess the app will be listed in the installed app listing.
