How to Delete Managed by your organization in Chrome in Windows 11

On a Windows 11 computer, I recently attempted to change the settings in Google Chrome. As shown in the screenshot below, I noticed “Managed by your organization” at the bottom of the menu. However, I had not applied any policies to the Chrome browser, so seeing this message caught me off guard.

I removed some Windows registry keys as well as the directory where Google Update saves cloud policies that have been cached. Finally, this message vanished from my Windows 11 Chrome browser.

This message will also appear on the Chrome browser’s chrome://settings/help page.
