I want to uninstall the software from my machine.

However the software is functional and installed on the machine. To be sure that it wasn't installed via other methods, I decided to check other files and couldn't see other packages. Except the one already installed in the apt repo.

Currently running Pop!_OS 21.04 5.13.9-051309-generic

Apt list result :

apt list by default lists all available packages. You need to use the --installed flag to only get the installed packages, which I'm not sure if you did.

Please send the output of dpkg -l | grep chromium, dpkg -S "$(whereis chromium | awk '{print $2}')", and whereis chromium

Thanks for your reply & help. I didn't know that flag!

dpkg -l | grep chromium => No output dpkg -S "$(whereis chromium | awk '{print $2}')" => chrome-gnome-shell: /etc/chromium whereis chromium => chromium: /etc/chromium

Looks like chromium is not installed, at least not via apt. Make sure to check flatpak and snap (if you have them). You might also want to check if you have chrome installed.

This is also not a problem with ungoogled-chromium, so you should probably close the issue.
