I installed chromium out of curiosity but found I prefer google. chromium is not listed in my control panel to uninstall and google is not listed either. google chrome was listed and I successfully uninstalled that.

I have remove it without any problems on Windows 10 Chromium was not showing in Control Panel or listed in Add/Remove Programs for uninstalling.
Click Start> Settings> File Explorer Options > tab View then select> Show Hidden Files, Folders or Drives.
Click File Explorer> (C: ) Drive> Users >Your Personal Named folder >AppData> Local.
You should see the Chromium folder just delete it.
I had the problem where uninstalling from Control Panel's Program Files (regular or safe mode), or using CCleaner as an intermediate would do nothing after clicking Uninstall. Nothing was ever running in task manager to delete (probably because I'd somehow managed to remove part of it but not all and was left with a bad state). Then I tried the Fixit program mentioned above and it couldn't find "Chromium". CCleaner found some of the Chromium registry stuff, but the program still lived in some level in Program Files.
The way I was able to finally get rid of it was like above in the C: > Users >{Personal Named folder} >AppData> Local (I'm also on Windows 10). But with a catch; I'd already previously deleted the "Chromium" folder, but it was either there or somewhere near that I also found two folders with GUIDs for folder names, also installed on the same date that something gave me Chromium. I deleted those two folders and then was able to finally uninstall Chromium (or more accurately, went to uninstall from Program Files and it finally responded to click, saying that the program was no longer there).
Try going directly to this equivalent folder on your PC.
C: ) Drive> Users >Your Personal Named folder >AppData> Local
If I remember correctly you do not need see the hidden folder to be able to specify it in windows explorer and see the contents.
Nothing happens after I select 'show hidden file etc.' There must be intermediate steps.
Can you say, "misery loves company"? I think some sneaky underhanded chimpanzee has infiltrated Microsoft and wheedled this parasitic anti-browser"(in the avatar "Chromium") into Windows 10 somehow, and it's truly a pain-in-the-ane. Help us!
