Once you find it, click on it and you should see one of the options. - QuestionWhen I open my cell, Chrome has a very discussing sentence on it and I can't stand it. I want to delete Chrome.Miloš VlajkovićCommunity AnswerI don't know what you mean by Chrome having a very discussing sentence on it but you can't delete Chrome because it's a system application. You can only delete its updates but that doesn't delete Chrome itself.
