deleted chrome plugins still showing up on 'startup' tool

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

v5.12.5431

win xp

i'm on an old system so maybe this has been fixed.

go to: tools > startup > google chrome tab

4 plugins are showing up that are no longer in use or even on my computer.

i think what happened is that i was dealing with a really stubborn piece of software (RealPlayer and RealJukebox - avoid if possible) that just would not uninstall itself completely; it left traces all over the place.

i got fed up with standard ways of trying to get rid of it and at one point i'm pretty sure i went into the Application Data folders and manually deleted everything i could find related to RealPlayer and RealJukebox. but CCleaner seems to think the plugins are still there. i'm quite sure there's no trace of them left, but i could be wrong. i did find some traces in the registry but i'm not sure if those are relevant.

also, these plugins don't show up in other browser tabs (in ccleaner). doubly weird because i don't think i ever used the plugins while in chrome.

can now confirm the problem still exists in v.5.21.5700.

I too tried to remove Chrome plugins and they stubbornly reappear when I restart Chrome.

I am using v5.22.5724 on Windows 10

Example: BBC Iplayer Radio and BBC News - even though I don't have any extensions that relate to these, they keep reappearing.
