Removing Search Baron and Search Marquis from Google Chrome on MacBook Pro

I'm trying to get rid of search baron and search marquis from Google Chrome on my MacBook Pro. I have follow all of the steps in this thread --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252027115 and it worked to get rid of search baron and search marquis on Safari, but not Google Chrome. I need advice on if I need to delete any of the information when I search "~/Library/Application Support". I completed the rest of the steps, but the search baron and search marquis still pops up when opening Chrome, but not Safari. I've attached screenshots below of what I see when searching "~/Library/Application Support". Thanks!
