One Of Your Browser Extension's Occupies All Available Hard Disk And Random Access Memory Space

Open Elvis254 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I don't know how or when this extension got installed on my browser. Whenever I use the browser and get to sign into my browser account to activate the sync settings, this extension gets automatically installed and there isn't any specified way to remove it even after clicking the undo button.

The BIG PROBLEM is that it occupies up all available space on my Hard Disk and the Random Access Memory which ends up with me having to format my development machine all along so as to solve the problem. It has made me to shy away from Google Chrome Browser because of the problem.

Please, tell me how to remove it from the list of installed extensions on my Google Chrome Account Profile since there isn't any specified way of removing installed extensions from your Google Chrome Account Profile via a different browser all we find is the browsing history which is the only information we can delete from our personal account profiles.

Here is the extension link: Jay's Grays · Material Drive 250

Elvis.

You should be able to navigate to chrome://extensions and click "Remove" in the section that lists the specific extension.

@guest271314 it won't help because my computer will have already been attacked by the extension.

That doesn't really make sense.

will have already been

Or, already happened?

If already happened you appear to have no choice but to extract your data and reinstall the OS, and not reinstall the extension.
