apt - Removing Chrome

I am having trouble getting Google Chrome off my system. I installed from Google's website (probably a bad idea) and it appeared to work, but I was never able to launch the program. Any time I do any apt-get operations, I get the following at the end:

$ sudo apt-get install -f

Setting up google-chrome-stable (46.0.2490.71-1) ...
xdg-icon-resource: size argument must be numeric
Try 'xdg-icon-resource --help' for more information.

dpkg: error processing package google-chrome-stable (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 google-chrome-stable
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I had resorted to manually deleting files (again, bad idea I am aware), and it looks to me like the lack of an icon that I deleted is causing problems. I have tried everything to delete, reinstall and delete, purge etc. but I simply can't fix this error.

Try reinstall, using the .deb with sudo dpkg -i or using sudo apt-get install --reinstall google-chrome-stable.

Then update your system with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Then purge Chrome: sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable.
