How to Remove Toolbars

Method 1 of 5:
Google Chrome
- Open Google Chrome. It's the red, yellow, green, and blue sphere icon.
- Click ⋮. This icon is in the top-right corner of the Chrome window. Clicking it will open a drop-down menu.
- Select More tools. It's toward the bottom of the drop-down menu. Doing so prompts a pop-out menu.
- Click Extensions. This option is in the pop-out menu. The Extensions page will open.
- Click the trash can icon. It's to the right of the toolbar that you want to uninstall.
- You may first have to scroll down to the toolbar.
- Click Remove when prompted. Doing so will delete the extension from Google Chrome.
