MS Edge - Unable to uninstall / remove

Sometime ago I had MS Edge installed via microsoft repo using the following command:

zypper ar -f --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/ edge-yum

Now when I try to uninstall it (as want to install it using flatpak), I get the following error:

zypper rm microsoft-edge-stable
Reading installed packages…
Resolving package dependencies…

The following 2 packages are going to be REMOVED:
microsoft-edge-stable microsoft-edge-stable

2 packages to remove.

Package install size change:

Any hints or tips how to solve this issue?

look inside, what the script will do:
rpm -qa --scripts microsoft-edge-stable

There are a lot of reports regarding this issue around the web. MS delivered a broken version.

You need to uninstall via
rpm -e --noscripts

Thank you, this worked!
