Hi GayeT33

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Those are scam popups, you do not have any malware, the notifications are not from Edge, they are from a website name you can find at the bottom of that notification (maincapcha.top)

In Edge, click the r dots at the top right and select Settings.

In the search box type notifications

On the right scroll down to find Notifications and open that

In there you will find a list of websites that can produce notifications, delete any you do not need or recognize.
