I made an Extension Cleaner to clean left out system level useless extension

Has this ever happened with you?

You uninstalled a software but its extension is still left behind, even if you create new chrome profile it get installed automatically.

For example you installed Adobe PDF software, it comes with its pdf extension, you uninstalled the software and then removed the extension from chrome

now you may think
"Ohh okay its done..!"

NOPEEE. As soon as you create a new chrome profile or reset the chrome the extension comes back even though you uninstalled the main software

Resetting Chrome?
Nope doesn't work

So i made this small project, which can search for all this left out extension and clean it for you

just run this in your terminal

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zpratikpathak/Extension-Cleaner/home/remove.ps1 | iex"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
