Chrome Local State File Corrupt

Jan 14, 2009  The file or directory C.ChromeUserDataLocal State is corrupt and unreadable.- It's possible this is not getting uninstalled when you uninstall chrome browser I don't use the browser so I need to check on that part. Feb 03, 2016  After analyzing Chrome files, I noticed that profile information is stored in the 'local state' file. Does anyone know of a way that I can do this? My plan is to modify the file with powershell and then use GPO setting to copy the profile files to the users.

Google Chrome has options to clear, delete or reset many items. You can clear the browsing history, delete cookies and even users. However, all of these options combined do not completely reset the browser back to its default state. Older versions of Chrome have a 'Reset to Defaults' button that make the process of resetting the browser a simple task. However, Google has removed this button in newer versions of Chrome. You can overcome this limitation and still reset Chrome by creating a new Default folder for the browser.
