Hello everyone, this morning i saw google chrome was installed on my computer without me knowing  :o   I uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller (portable) in advance uninstall. it didn't find any registry keys or leftover folders... What are the dirtectories does google chrome install folders in? (Note: It made me very mad cause I do not like google chrome it is a bloated webbrowser in my opinion  >:( )  

PS: I know this might not be the right place to ask this  :-\

Hopefully revo took most of it out for you, not sure what the directories are for GC as iv never used it but the common places are the program folders, program data, users\name\appdata\local and roaming.
Running a search for Google Chrome in the registry might bring up some entries, if not then under all the software directories HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software -  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node, there are also software sub directories under HKEY_USERS you should be able to delet anything with mention to Google.

Don't understand why you want to give it up but as I've told you before, It's Your Computer
Maybe this will help:

No it's not, it also allows you to remove the registry entries and the folders.
