Nova Launcher problem

[Abby 244]

For some stupid reason I am getting 2 chrome app icons in app drawer. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling reinstalling both nova launcher and chrome ( updates ).
But still this problem presists. Moreover in Funtouch OS , there is only one chrome app. In app clone option also chrome is not visible.
When I try to hide it in Nova launcher settings ,both Chrome main app as well as Chrome 2nd app disappears.
And in settings->more settings->Applications there is no Chrome app to unistall.
Please help.

If you long-press on the "Chrome2nd" icon,do you not see the option to remove/uninstall it?

I have same versions. Can you try to uninstall Chrome's update? Also clear the data for chrome.

When you get that pop-up & press on the "i" in the circle icon,what happens next?

How about a screen shot of what you get when you long press on the "i"/App Info Icon?

If I long press app info icon , nothing happens. If I touch/click it once it takes me to the app setting screen shown in above 1st screenshot.

Wow,that sux,maybe try this:
Go ahead & uninstall updates,then disable the Chrome app.
Afterwards,side-load Chrome from APK Mirror (Perfectly safe,the folks @ Android Police run/own the site):

Chrome from APK Mirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...me-browser-68-0-3440-70-android-apk-download/

IDK if this will help,but,it definitely won't hurt to try........

There is no option to disable it after uninstalling update

There is no option to disable it after uninstalling update

Running out of suggestions here,this sux,even if a minor bug at most,still would be nice to figure out the cause...
Perhaps there's a bug in that version of Chrome,I'm running version 67.0.3396.87

Have you tried side-loading the version I linked?
If so,anything different?

EDIT,I see that's the version you had installed,prior to removing the updates...
Still,have you tried side-loading,just to see what happens?
