Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, used by millions of people on both Mac and Windows devices. However, if you want to uninstall Chrome from your Mac, there are a few simple steps you need to follow.

Step 1: Close Chrome

Before you start the uninstall process, make sure that Chrome is not running in the background. You can do this by opening Activity Monitor (which you can find in your Utilities folder) and searching for processes related to Chrome. If you find any, select them and click on the “Quit Process” button.

Step 2: Drag Chrome to the Trash

To uninstall Chrome, you simply need to drag the Chrome application to the Trash. To do this, open Finder and navigate to your Applications folder. Find Chrome in the list of applications, click and hold on it, and then drag it to the Trash. You can also right-click on the Chrome icon and select “Move to Trash” from the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Remove Chrome Preferences

After you’ve moved Chrome to the Trash, there may still be some Chrome-related files on your Mac. To remove these, you need to delete the Chrome preferences file. To do this, open Finder and press Command+Shift+G. In the “Go to Folder” dialog box, type “~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome” (without the quotes) and click on “Go”. This will take you to the Chrome preferences folder. Drag this folder to the Trash as well.

Step 4: Empty the Trash

After you’ve deleted the Chrome application and preferences, it’s time to empty the Trash. To do this, click on the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Empty Trash” from the drop-down menu. You’ll be prompted to confirm the deletion – click on “Empty Trash” again to proceed.

Conclusion:

Uninstalling Chrome from your Mac is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. By following the steps outlined above, you can remove Chrome and its related files from your Mac and free up space on your hard drive. If you decide to reinstall Chrome at a later time, you can always download it from the Google Chrome website.
