I just installed Chromium today and removed Google Chrome via sudo apt-get purge Google-Chrome-stable

The application is gone, but the shortcut in my menu is still there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove it?

Here's a screenshot of what I see when I type in "Chr(om)", which is how I typically search for Chromium.

Let's check for the remaining launcher:

ls /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

if present, remove it with

sudo rm /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

You may also need to check the applications folder in the user's home directory: ~/.local/share/applications/ and remove google-chrome.desktop. (thanks Tchalvak)

    similarly, I had to go to: ~/.local/share/applications/ and rm Google\ Chrome.desktop
