This is my first time using a mac and I recently installed google chrome for M1, which created a virtual disk during installation. And every time the system starts, it offers to move the contents of the virtual disk to the program folder.
When trying to erase data from a virtual disk, an error (-69888) appears.
Please help me solve the problem)

When you download Google Chrome for Apple M1 Macs, and double-click its installer in your Downloads folder, it will open an installer window, and mount the installer on your Desktop, so you see these concurrently:
and…
For these type of installers, the second image is telling you to click on the Google Chrome icon in the installer window, and drag/drop onto the Application's folder alias in the same window. That installs Google Chrome.
You can right-click on the Google Chrome Desktop icon in the first image, and select Eject "Google Chrome", which will remove the installer icon and its window from your Desktop.
If you dragged the Google Chrome installer icon from the first image into the Applications folder, it is not installed, but rather you incorrectly placed the installer itself into your Applications folder. If this is the case, move it back to the Desktop, double-click it, and follow my preceding instructions to install it correctly.

After I Eject the chrome installer on my Desktop, after reboot, the window pops up again, as in my last photo.
Which specific "virtual" image are you referring too? If you are referring to the open installer window (your last image), then you still have the Google Chrome installer mounted on your Desktop. Right-click on that Google Chrome Folder icon displayed on your Desktop and select Eject "Google Chrome" from the secondary menu.
Right-click on the google chrome.dmg file in your Downloads folder. From the contextual menu, select Move to Trash. Empty your Trash. Reboot, and there will be no installer to launch.
I removed chrome according to the instructions, but the virtual image still remains ...
Thank you!)
But, it seems to me, I successfully installed Google Chrome and now I can not to remove it...
This is the solution to the issue! It is turns out to be that simple!
Thank you very much!
You are welcome.
