Don't worry, there's a workaround available to delete definitely and manually this extension. Here are the steps: - Type *about:extensions* in the address bar and click on *Developer Mode* in the top-right hand corner - You will so find a **ID** line below any extension name. Copy this extension ID in a external text editor for example (you will need it several times later). - Right now, close entirely Chrome - Open Windows Start Menu and type the following line in the search box (or in the Execute menu): *%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Extensions* - In the explorer which has just opened, delete the folder with the ID matching the ID you have previously retrieved. - With the same steps, now access to this folder: *%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Local Storage* - In this folder, check if there is a file with a name such like *chrome-extension\_ID\_0.localstorage* (replace the ID value with the good one from your extension). If there is, delete it also. - Finally, one last step to be sure that this extension won't re-install by itself automatically, you can check by typing *regedit* in the search bar of your Start Menu and then find the following path: *HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Google\\Chrome\\ExtensionInstallForcelist*. Check that there is no entry containing the extension ID. - If there is, delete it ; else, everything is good ! - You can now restart Chrome, and everything should run smoothly and fine ! Here it is, the extension doesn't exist anymore on your PC ! (Don't worry, you will be able to re-install it later if you want).
