Chrome shows being managed by organization

-There is no profile installed on the mac

-Uninstall some third party apps

-Delete the ~/Library/Google and ~/Library/application Support/Google

-Uninstall Chrome and reinstall, same issue

Is this normal even for macs that are personally owned?

Managed by your organization Help! My chrome has been "managed by your organization" I used to know how to get rid of it by going to profile in system preferences. But I don't have a profile option in my system preference, how can I get rid of this??

Google Chrome Repeatedly Adds itself to Login Items I'm adding this question so I can help others avoid wasting time with this problem, because this answer Chrome keeps adding itself to startup ite… - Apple Community and many other answers in similar posts did not address this specific situation: Problem: Each time after removing the Chrome login item in: General > Login Items, it adds it again when I open Chrome. (Regardless if you restart or not) Wrong Diagnosis: Most answers in this forum assume one of these two solutions: Apple Preference/Settings > General > Login > Remove the Chrome Login Item from the "Open at Login Chrome setting > On startup > Deselect "Continue where you left off" is not selected. Note: This is the wrong answer for this problem regardless of the situation, though many people continue suggesting it. This only reopens the tabs from where you left off and does not add anything to the login items Both of these solutions are actually more of a novice macOS user mistake, but are not the proper diagnosis in this situation Diagnosing Problem: To properly diagnose this problem, I turned on notifications for when login items were added. This showed me, it was a specific Chrome profile, as I would only get a notification every time I opened that profile and no others. Solution: Delete the profile Quit Chrome (This may not be necessary, but as a precaution) Apple Preference/Settings > General > Login > Remove the Chrome Login Item from the "Open at Login" Recreate the Profile Potential Cause: I believe the cause of the problem in my case was I removed the chrome login Item in macOS settings/preferences, when this profile was "Managed by an Organization", potentially preventing Chrome on my MacBook from updating that profile.

why is the "Manage" button not visible after choosing apple menu "about this mac", and clicking storage? could it be that i am not an "administrator"? (although being owner of this macbook pro) why is the "Manage" button not visible after choosing apple menu "about this mac", and clicking storage? could it be that i am not an "administrator"?

For your third party application I would search their Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility

Google Chrome Help

Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support
