I installed this extension on Chrome.
I want to uninstall it, but I can't seem to find it on the extensions page.
Note that in Chrome app market, the app shows the installation button as available, but when clicked I see this error:
I tried restarting Chrome but that didn't help.
Is there a way to remove the extension via Windows Explorer etc.

Okey. I find solution.
- If you login in Chrome -> logout.
- Go to
%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensionsand delete extension folder - Go to
%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settingsand delete extension folder - Restart Chrome
- Sign in
- ...Done!
Find a puzzle icon on the right side of already visible installed extensions (near ...). Click on it and a drop down of installed extensions is now displayed. Click on selected empty pins and it should work.

4To extend @jazkat answer, since mid 2020 Google now hides application extensions by default, you now need to look for the puzzle icon
“Our goal with this new UI is to make it easier for users to see what extensions can access their data,” explained extensions developer advocate Simeon Vincent in a post to the Chromium extensions forum in May 2020.
“When the user clicks the puzzle piece icon, the extension menu opens and displays a list of all enabled extensions the user has installed. The extension list is grouped by the level of data access the extension has on the currently selected tab.”
If you're sure that the extension doesn't show up in Settings>Extensions:
The default location for all Chrome extensions is
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
When you navigate there, you'll find that all the folder names are cryptic, so you'll have to isolate the particular extension either by Date Modified, or by clicking in each folder and comparing the version number to the version number of the extension (find via the extension's page on Chrome Store).
To remove the extension just delete the particular folder, and restart Chrome.
4For Chrome 75 in 2019:
The official documentation says
Arrange on your toolbar
To the right of your address bar, look for your extensions' icons.
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- Drag the extension's icon to its new place.
Hide extensions
- To hide extensions, click the right side of your address bar and drag it to the right.
- To hide individual extensions, right-click the icon and select
Hide in Chrome Menu.- To see your hidden extensions, click More ⫶.
Show extensions
- To show extensions you've hidden, click the right side of your address bar and drag it to the left.
- To bring hidden extensions back to your toolbar, click More ⫶. Right-click the extension's icons, and select
Showin toolbar.
- Some extensions don't have this option.
P.S. For days, my LastPass extension wouldn't appear in the toolbar or in the hidden area. I couldn't find it anywhere, even after visiting chrome://extensions/ and disabling and then re-enabling it. What finally fixed it was disabling all of my extensions, then enabling just LastPass. Then it appeared. Then I was able to re-enable other extensions.
1This looks like running chrome process is in some messed up state.
Windows Solution Go to 'Task Manager' & kill all 'chrome.exe' process by clicking 'End Process'
Unix based platform Find list of process ids for chrome using 'ps -eaf' & use 'kill -9' to use kill those process.
This will close active window. So, restart chrome. Hopefully, problem solved.
