Extensions that are uninstalled appear in pop up asking to restart them, along with installed extensions that have crashed.

Reported by jpiscoo...@gmail.com, Feb 27 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install a couple of extensions.
2. Uninstall them.
3. Wait for the day or time when a lot of your extensions crash.
4. Take notice at the popups that appear, that ask you to restart extensions and apps.

What is the expected behavior?
There should be popups only for apps that I have installed.

What went wrong?
It showed popups for extensions that I've uninstalled, such as MyWOT, etc. I do not have them disabled, but completely uninstalled. I don't know if they're gone for good or why chrome is asking me to restart them.

Did this work before? N/A

Sounds like Chrome notification database is not purged correctly on extension uninstallation. Skimming through the chromium source code I see no relevant calls. Something like r410697 needs to be made for this case, apparently.

Hi, I'm using a newer version of Chrome, but the issue doesn't appear as frequently.

However, the uninstalled extensions still appear to be taking up RAM on my device. Is there a file path in which I can locate and try to purge them from?

I think I found the root of the issue; I have multiple profiles for my Chrome. 

It turns out that extensions, etc can run, even if you don't use the other profiles. One of them has old extensions installed onto them.
