Has your Google Chrome Browser suddenly broken down? Does it not display items properly on the screen? Does it show some error messages? In these cases you might have to completely uninstall and then reinstall the Chrome again on your Linux Ubuntu system to make it work afresh.

To uninstall Chrome first open up the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following command, type in the login password (if any), accept the prompts and then hit enter :

sudo apt purge google-chrome-stable

Though the above code uninstalls any previous versions of Chrome from your system, the user settings and the corrupt files and folders still remains. So, in the next step you should first restart your PC.

Next, in order to completely eliminate all previous user settings, files, folders and corrupt items from your previous version of Chrome open the terminal back again and type in the following command:

cd ~/.config

Next, hit enter and then run the below command :

rm -rf google-chrome

After you’re done with these steps, all the previously damaged or remaining system files are now completely removed.

Now you can go to the official Google Chrome website and download a fresh version of Chrome. Everything should work properly now.
