5. Check that Odin shows an added message from the app and gives out a color from its ID: COM port so you can see that the Samsung USB Drivers are working.
6. Click on the AP button from Odin and browse through to the default downloads location on the computer where you extracted the file earlier and click on the rooting MD5 file to that it uploads to the Odin.
7. Do not make any changes to Odin’s default settings which are shown on the Odin Options tab.
8. Click on the Start button, and the rooting of the Galaxy S6 Edge begins; read everything that is rolling down the display of the phone now, so you understand what is happening.
9. Check that Odin shows a green pass message once you can see it state that the phone is going to reboot in ten seconds from its display.

It did have to install a modified cache and recovery temporarily to help get that done but none of that exists on your device anymore. The only difference is you now have the SuperSU app.
