Finally un-installed chrome on Windows.
Is this enough to remove traces?
- Go to this location:
C:\Users\YOUNAME\AppData\Local\Google
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\ - And delete that "Chrome" folder (for both location, if there is a Chrome folder)

Worrying about traces is usually not necessary.
A friend of mind in IT suggested revouninstaller. I have never used it in practice but he says it might be helpful in this case.
I use that everytime I go to uninstall something. You can configure it to scan your system registry and local files for residual files that the software's uninstaller won't remove.
