Okay this is just a theory, and I have tested it out on my game and I got Ed to leave. But I am not 100 percent sure if it was just luck or what.
But i got him to move out two weeks after he moved in. Granted, that's a long time, but it seems faster then just ignoring them the whole time and hoping they move.
Here is what I did:
I BECAME HIS FRIEND (this helps them move out faster...for some reason, or at least it feels like the higher the friendship they have with you the more likely they move)
after becoming his friend I ignored him completely and ignored any villagers request to talk to him (ex deliver him an item)
Then about two weeks after he moved in, he left.
Once again, I am not sure if this is luck or not, but its worth a few more test runs.
