Find the App Store in your app menu and type Google Chrome in the search bar. Press the home button or swipe up to return the rest of your apps to normal. You can find it in your Applications folder on a Mac, or on your Start menu in. Select the x or Delete and agree to remove Chrome and all its data. The Chrome icon looks like a colored ball with a blue dot at the center. Press and hold the Google Chrome icon until a small x appears on the top left corner of most apps. If you want to reinstall Chrome on iOS, you need to follow these steps: This should automatically install Google Chrome, making it appear in the Applications folder. Just drag-and-drop the Google Chrome icon into the Applications directory.
You may wait a minute or two for it to download everything.
When the file finishes downloading, go to the download directory and find it – the file name should be googlechrome.dmg. You will probably need to agree with the terms and conditions before you start.
Choose the Download Chrome button and it will start downloading the installer. The website will take you to the download page. Go to Download and then choose For Personal Computer. Open Safari or any other non-Chrome browser that you installed on your Mac. I reinstalled the app for about 3 times total.Īnd since it might be related to the app setting data having some issue that caused the app to keep on crashing, I found the folder where the app data sits: ~/Library/Application Support/Google, and I renamed it to ~/Library/Application Support/00G00gle and tried and removed the app and downloaded the app and reinstalled it.
Reboot again, run the app again, and it crashed again. I tried going to the Applications folder, delete the whole app, and use Firefox to download Google Chrome from the Internet again to install it.
So to prevent any further damage to the computer, I shut it down and wait until the next day in the morning to power the computer up again.īut now Google Chrome will start up and immediately crash. That day, when I see the Google Chrome window, I clicked on it, and it crashed.Īt that time, the temperature of the room is probably around 36C. I have an iMac on the top floor of the house, in California, and some days the thermometer showed a max temperature of 39C (which is 102F). The short question is: if I have an app (Chrome) that keeps on crashing on app start up, how do I reinstall the app totally so it will run again? (removing the app and download and reinstall won't work).
