How to uninstall Google Chrome?

There are a couple of other ways to remove Google Chrome so it can be re-installed. The first is to use the Google Updater utility. Click on the Start button, All programs and then Google Updater.

Click on the Installed Software tab and look for the row for Google Chrome Web Browser. Click on the Uninstall link at the right of the row to remove Google Chrome.

The other method is to remove it manually. This does require editing the Windows Registry so you should only do this if you feel confident making this change. Make sure all your files are backed up and that you have made a System Restore point.

1. Make sure extensions are displayed for your files. Here's how:
1. Go to the Start menu > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Folder Options.
3. Click View.
4. Make sure the 'Hide extensions for known file types' checkbox is deselected.
2. Right-click this link.
3. Click Save Link as and save the file name as remove.reg. (Select 'All files' as your file type.)
4. Exit Google Chrome completely.
5. Double-click remove.reg on your desktop.
6. In the confirmation window, click Yes.
7. Click OK.
8. Go to the Start menu > Run.
9. Enter one of the following commands in the text field, depending on your operating system:
* Windows XP:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google
* Windows Vista: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google
10. Delete the Chrome' folder in the directory that opens.
