I have already gone through How do I completely uninstall Google Chrome and Chromium? and I'm really not getting why the solutions given there are not working for me.
What I'm doing is:
sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium Then reinstalling by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser This must remove the settings of chromium-browser and do a fresh installation. The browser is uninstalling, but after being installed it is containing the previous settings, moreover it's not signing me out of even Gmail!

Execute these commands in terminal :
sudo apt-get remove chromium --purge
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium
rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium
sudo rm -rf /etc/chromiumYou don't need to uninstall/reinstall the browser.
To delete the settings for a given user, you must delete the config folder for that user (placed in its home, as a hidden folder, thus the . at the start of the name).
You may delete that folder using the terminal or you may open the home folder in Nautilus and press Ctrl+H to show the hidden files and folders, then delete the folder you want to delete as you would do with any other file.
This prevents you from using rm -rf variations in which a small typo can have serious consequences.
You can use
sudo apt purge --remove chromium-browser -y
sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean -yThis removes the chromium browser completely
In ubuntu later versions you can uninstall from Ubuntu Software
snap-storeTry sudo killall snap-store to reload Ubuntu Software
