Removing an Extension from Google Chrome

Disabling and uninstalling an extension are two different things. You can disable an extension simply by right-clicking it, then clicking Disable.

If you know that you are not going to want to use the extension again and simply want to remove it fro your Google Chrome installation, then follow the procedure below. Step 1: Launch Google Chrome. Step 2: Click the Wrench icon at the top-right corner of the window, click Tools, then click Extensions. Step 3: Hover over the extension you want to delete or uninstall from Chrome, then click the trash can icon that displays to the right of the extension name. Step 4: Click the Remove button to confirm that you wish to completely uninstall the extension from Google Chrome.
