Software Deployment

Hi,

Here is a way to remove Google Chrome from any Windows 7 machine that sits inside the AppData folder.

This first uninstalls then pulls all user data from the 'Google' folder, ensuring a clean uninstall.

This works with all versions of Chrome.

Batch file:

for /D %%i in ("C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\*") do ( if exist "%%i\installer\setup.exe" "%%i\installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --multi-install --chrome --verbose-logging --force-uninstall --delete-profile)

rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google"

 

Thanks

 

Try using --uninstall --force-uninstall

Tried that - doesn't work - pops up the "Are you sure you want to uninstall Google Crome" box (with the Delete browsing Data check box).

Thanks
