The short question is: if I have an app (Chrome) that keeps on crashing on app start up, how do I reinstall the app totally so it will run again? (removing the app and download and reinstall won't work).

The long question is:
I have an iMac on the top floor of the house, in California, and some days the thermometer showed a max temperature of 39C (which is 102F). That day, when I see the Google Chrome window, I clicked on it, and it crashed.

At that time, the temperature of the room is probably around 36C.
Go to the Google chrome settings. Click on Advanced settings on the very bottom. https://treefile724.weebly.com/blog/sassoon-font-download-for-mac. Another drop-down page would appear, and then on the very bottom of that page, there is Reset settings option.Click on Reset button and browser would reset.
So to prevent any further damage to the computer, I shut it down and wait until the next day in the morning to power the computer up again. Mac system sound equalizer download.
But now Google Chrome will start up and immediately crash. I tried going to the Applications folder, delete the whole app, and use Firefox to download Google Chrome from the Internet again to install it. But the same thing happened. Install, reboot, app crashed. Reboot again, run the app again, and it crashed again. I reinstalled the app for about 3 times total.
And since it might be related to the app setting data having some issue that caused the app to keep on crashing, I found the folder where the app data sits:
~/Library/Application Support/Google , and I renamed it to ~/Library/Application Support/00G00gle and tried and removed the app and downloaded the app and reinstalled it. https://beautifulever808.weebly.com/beer-lambert-law-definition-pdf.html. But still it crashed.
So is there a way to totally reinstall the app in this case to make it work again?

AppZapper allows you to remove all of the files associated with an application. The free version allows you to remove an app only 5 times, but check it out and see if it solves your issue.

A great free app can help you delete an app and all of the files associate with it is AppCleaner.

You could also try deleting
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.google.Chrome.savedState . Here's a script that removes all support files I could find:
If that doesn't work, try running Lri
sudo opensnoop Mail app not opening on mac. and then opening Chrome.

You could also have a look at CleanMyMac, rather than just removing the application it will also remove associated files and folders.
Google Chrome
Wamp server for windows 8 64 bit filehippo. It will also find old files associated with applications that have already been removed.
Not only that it is a good tool for removing unwanted large files, needless files and freeing up disk space.
I would have a look at that and then see if the problem persists.
