If Google Chrome is popping up every now and then, then you didn’t really uninstall it.

What OS are you using?

forgot to add the effort to stop chromium returning in linix or pi variants

sudo apt-mark hold chromium*

In windows or any other operating system if there are auto update and install settings done then you can delete all you like but as soon as the update starts in the background you have what you do not want back again.

Wipe the drive and do a fresh install of the entire OS.

To quote Ripley “nuke the entire site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.”
