Why edge takes up so much local space?

I have a pretty limited storage capacity, and everytime i'm seening on windirstat that edge for some whatever reason takes up around 4Gb of storage while comparedly to my chrome that is barely scratcing 900mb, i'm asking myself a question - why the hell it takes so much and do i really need it(i dont really use it except points later in text)?

And unfortunately i can say for sure that just deleting edge leaves me with at least 2 problems - 1-st of which is files preview in file explorer breaks compeletly(, and i didnt find a definite way to make it functional without edge) and 2-nd is that for work reasons i need to open lots pdf files and make lots of screenshots from them(win+shift+s doesnt cut it because of how much more clicks i need to get image saved). My second question then - does anybody knows some nice solutions to those problems? (i know that there whole internet history answering those questions, but i wasn't capable enough to find what would work in tandem nicely)
