Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been posted in the wrong section.

I recently installed Chrome (latest version, unsure whether this is 47-Canary???) along with the following Addons:

Evernote
WebPixlr Editor
Dropbox
TweetDeck by TwitterChrome
App Launcher

After evaluating it for a few weeks I decided to uninstall it and followed the instructions provided by Google:

  1. Go to the folder containing the Google Chrome application on your computer.
    Tip: It may be in your Applications folder. If not, try searching your computer for "Google Chrome" (press

    F
    ).
  2. Drag Google Chrome into the Trash.
  3. If you added Google Chrome to your Dock, simply drag it off the Dock.
If you want to delete your Chrome user profile information, like your browser preferences, bookmarks, and history from your computer, follow these additional steps:

  1. In the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go.
  2. Select Go to Folder.
  3. Type ~/Library/Google.
  4. Click Go.
  5. Drag the folder GoogleSoftwareUpdate into the Trash.
However, when I access my Launchpad the Addons have not been deleted/removed and even if I attempt to drag them into the Trash bin, they will not delete. I have attempted to search for them and remove them but with no success.

I am running El Capitan.

Any help would be appreciated.
