I'm getting Goggle Chrome related icons in my Applications menu. Who's responsible? Elementary or Google?

Also, I want to get rid of them. How do I get rid of these unauthorized installations in my Applications menu?

I also faced this "issue" before. Icons of "YouTube" or "Google Drive" which I didn't installed explicitly are shown in Applications Menu.

They should be installed with Google Chrome since elementary is not related to Google.

These icons are displayed by some .desktop files under ~/.local/share/applications/.

Much thanks ryonakano. Deleted all. If I get rid of chrome would chromium be just as bad? I'm in the process of transferring bookmarks, passwords, etc to Floorp which I like but I still like chrome for email access. Open to suggestions here on how to stop the evil.

I got rid of chrome and re-installed the flatpak version. Hopefully that will keep it better coralled. When I went to google sheets, chrome complained that it couldn't create handy buttons for me in the ~/.local/share/applications/ folder. That will have to do for now till I can get another email system going.
