- Start Windows run first
- And enter regedit
- Now navigate to the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>Software>>Google
- Delete the Google folder
- Again open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>Software>>Google and delete the folder again
- Now go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>Software>>Wow6432Node>>Google path and again for once delete the Google folder
- Do not delete anything else other than the Google folder
- Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE>>Google>>Update>>Clients path
- Look for {430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D} entry under the Client folder
