Microsoft Edge Wallet folders taking up Gigs of Disk space

Delete Microsoft Edge Browser Wallet folders to Free Up disk Space. 




Been using Micrsoft Edge browser for only about a year and it's already accumulating many files that are not necessary. . . I don't even use the Wallet feature of the browser. As can be seen from the screenshot, over a GB of disk space was used 15 thousand files by Microsoft Edge Wallet.  Remove Microsoft Edge Wallert folders to free-up disk pace. 

Location on the C drive is 
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHere\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Edge Wallet


Can Microsoft Edge Browser Wallet Folders be Deleted?

If you or your users or person you're trying to help are not using edge Wallet, the folders can be safely deleted. In my example from which the screen shots were create from, I deleted edge wallet folders and have had no issue. I freed up more than 1Gb of space. That disk space was used in less than a year of using Microsoft Edge. 
Need to free disk space, are not using Microsoft Wallet, then dump all files except the most recent folder.
