Windows 10: Microsoft Edge and CCleaner (v5.42.6499).

I use W10 and IE10 and Firefox, not Edge. Just recently found CCleaner now skips IE Temp Int Files, History and Cookies. Reverted to earlier version, same.
A Google search suggested this could be due to something running in the background. Looking in Task Manager, I found IE and Firefox do not show unless actually in use. However Edge constantly shows in background processes. Initially tried renaming the Edge file in This PC > System Apps –no effect. Then Settings > Privacy> Background apps > Microsoft Edge > OFF – no effect.
The only thing which works is going into Task Manager everytime > Microsoft Edge (5 entries) > End Task.
Is there any way to permanently disable Edge as I believe it is not recommended (or possible?) to remove it?
Only got to this point by trial and error, rather than knowledge.
Thanks for any help.
