Deleting Chrome is done by dragging it to the trash, followed by entering your login password for the Mac. Google likes to install additional files in your Launch folders, so to delete those go to the Finder and choose the Go menu, followed by Go to Folder. Copy and Paste each of these locations there and drag any Google file to the trash. Don't forget the "~" character at the start in the last location.

/Library/LaunchAgents

Even Apple Support is using AI these days. So does Google. The closest you are going to get to speaking to a real live human being is right here, and you just did.


Follow Mac Jim ID's instructions, and by all means if you need help from real humans, or if you want to confirm your Mac has completely been freed of Google's tentacles by all means write back.
