Uninstall Hangouts

I am trying to uninstall the Google plugin, Hangouts. Have tried using this https://support.google.com/chat/answer/161994?hl=en link as a guide but the response I get is 'No such file or directory'. I can't locate the program in my Application either. Does anyone know the answer?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Normski4ash is correct, Hangouts is a 'Chrome' extension so you can remove it our disable it by...

  1. Launching Google Chrome browser
  2. From the top app menu click 'Window > Extensions'
  3. The 'Extensions' browser tab should open, from there you should see 'Hangouts'
  4. You can either uncheck 'Enable' or click the 'trash' icon to remove it permanently


Hope this helps!

Yes, I do! I realize this thread is old but am DESPERATE for some help! Hangouts is not listed in my chrome prefs - the only place I can see it at all is when I'm signed in to Google (in Chrome on iMac) and it shows up along with Google Drive and all the other rubbish that I don't want. Some guy is trying to contact me thru an app I didn't even know I had and most DEFINITELY don't want. Impossible to figure out how to get it out of Chrome when it is not even listed as an extension and doesn't show up as an App either in my Applications folder. Does anyone have an answer to this please? Thanks!
