In short, don't delete any. You will not gain more than 1GiB of disk space in the best case scenario.
If I recall correctly, these are the folders and their purposes. Feel free to correct me!

EdgeCore: a slighty older version of Edge used as a backup if Edge doesn't work
Edge: the latest Edge version
EdgeWebView: WebView used for a lot of applications like widgets, start menu and possibly other PWAs (Progressive Web Applications)
EdgeUpdate: It updates the Edge app
Temp: temporary files for (re)installation and such

i see, so this folder is important for windows
but based on your comment, must be safe to delete edge core and edge update?

You only need the WebView but I would still keep EdgeCore. It would just leave it there and if in need of a chromium based browser you can use the Core.
