kudos:3 | Not what you want to hear, and I find Chrome is one of the worst offenders at not uninstalling cleanly also. Between the browser, and the updater it leaves all sorts of garbage behind on the hdd and registry. The updater is badly written, and it should be cleaning up after this. File a report with Google, stare at a brick wall hoping you even get any kind of acknowledgement, and hope they actually will do something?
It's so dynamic that you would just have to keep doing it manually, or write a program/script to check the folder names, then deleting the older lower numbers. That would require some programming knowledge to sort, and order the directory names correctly, along with be ran as an administrator for system wide installs. Probably just easier to do it manually. The registry entries are another matter, maybe a reg cleaner, but I don't personally trust reg cleaners.
They need to update like Firefox for linux. When you download firefox from mozilla.org you just drop, and expand the compressed file where you want it. You open the firefox folder, and click on firefox. That's it, it even updates itself to that exact location. It's an example of awesome programming skill for a user installable program.
