Chromium is a derivative of Google Chrome. This is not a classic browser like Chrome that has to be installed first. Instead, the software is represented in a single folder that only needs to be deleted for deinstallation.

Delete Chromium from the computer

Chromium cannot be uninstalled like other browsers. Instead, you just need to delete the related files. To do this, search for the " chrome-win " folder in Windows Explorer . The folder is usually located in your download folder or in your programs. Delete the entire folder - this will also delete Chromium.
