Unable to force quit Chrome (Yosemite) OS X 10.10.4 I tried to force quit Google Chrome when it started to hang while the other applications (Safari) was working fine. However, it didn't shut cut as usual and just leaves me hanging. I tried to search this site and came across some solutions where someone recommended using the sudo command in the Terminal.

Tried the sudo command to force quit but it didn't work so I tried to uninstall the app using the sudo command. However, it did not uninstall the Chrome app instead, the Chrome icon flickers for a moment and changes into a blank document icon. Running out of ideas. Safari app is running fine along with the other apps.
Try with the -9 option:

killall -9 Google\ Chrome


You can also try killing all Chrome processes:

kill -9 $(pgrep Chrome)
