Try Eraser from .  You might have to accept
Eraser's option to erase on the next bootup.

If the file is locked, try Unlocker from
.  If Unlocker determines that the
file is not locked after all, it gives you the option to delete it.

It is never a good idea, in Windows, to remove a program by deleting it 
from the drive. You never know what hooks will be left, what registry crap 
there is, and even if the missing file could prevent booting up next time.

I don't know the answer (I don't use Windows), but tread lightly with this 
"delete" stuff.

Mort, you should find a Chrome newsgroup or forum to ask your question, 
not the SeaMonkey newsgroup.

That is not normal GC behavior.  Normal Chrome browser can be deleted
using control panel list of installed programs.
IMO, what you have is an extension/toolbar/trojan/virus/pup/malware.
Look in your browser add-ons to see if it is an extension.

If admin privileges needed, that's normal and if you're an admin it

Have you Tried Revo Uninstaller, put it in and select the moderate or

I had to temporarily do this to Seamonkey because of issues, and it took

1 - Go to the Chrome directory.

2 - Do a 'Select all' (Control A).

3 - Right click on highlighted files and directories.

4 - Click on Delete.

5 - If you get the Admin Permissions error, go to the directory you get 
the error on and repeat steps 2 - 4.


6 - If you can delete all but one or two files in one or more Chrome 
sub-directories, do a system restart and repeat the process.


Reason you cannot delete the root directory for Chrome is that some of 
the sub-directories use 'inherited permissions' and must be removed 
before the root directory can be removed.


There is a handy tool called 'Take Ownership' which makes resolving this 
kind of problem very easy. Search for it, read about it, install it, be 
happy.

You just clicked too fast.   When AVAST reboots it says do you want to

AVG requires that the old version be uninstalled before installing an
update.  I almost always go off-line to install any software.  I remain
online when only stub installers are available; stub installers require
an Internet connection to download addition files.  However, AVG is
always available as a complete installer; so going off-line is not a
problem for updating it.

I just now tried Revo Uninstaller.

The most frustrating program that I have had to install or uninstall is
newer versions of doPDF; it fails to install completely and then the
partial installation fails to uninstall.  I now have older doPDF 7.2
completely installed and working okay.

I thought I would test Revo Uninstaller on doPDF.  However, doPDF does
not even show in  Revo Uninstaller's list of installed software.  doPDF
does show in Microsoft's Programs and Features (what used to be called
Add or Remove Programs).

I uninstalled Revo Uninstaller.  Unsure of how it would deal with
removing itself, I used Microsoft's Programs and Features to uninstall it.

You can't just "delete" programs and applications in Windows. You must 
*uninstall* them - especially for heavily-OS-involved software like anti-
virus programs. You've probably corrupted your registry by now.

Another possible solution to getting rid of an unwanted program that 
won't uninstall from Windows, is to download a full install of the 
program, install that, then see if it appears in the Windows program 
list, and uninstall it.  This has worked for me several times in the past.

Hi,

Updating Avast inadvertently downloaded Google Chrome to my H.D.,
(running Windows XP, SP-3). Now, I cannot delete it. It does not show up
on the list of programs  in control panel's section on programs, yet it
is there with a H.D. search. Each time that I attempt toa delete it, I
get a message on screen that it cannot be deleted.

How can I actually delete it from my H.D.?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

The situation has changed, further adding to the problem. Now, when I 
attempt deletion, I get a message that access is denied, and the 2 
Chrome files read in the messages as: "Chrome from WebRep" and "Chrome 
from Ad-blocker".
