Problems with Chrome not closing

[Deleted User]

Had problems on my desktop Windows 7 ( x64) last year with Firefox consistently not closing.
Switched to Chrome which solved the problem for a while but now this is acting up.
Everything freezes or slows down considerably and I have to go into Task Manager to close down the programmes manually - sometimes there could be five or six still running even when I thought I'd closed them.
There's no pattern to them except they happen at least once or twice a day with the computer running all day.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts on this.

I have had this problem with a number of my clients but it does seem to be specific to certain builds where there is a memory leak. This worked for me:

Delete the entire contents of %localappdata%\Google\Chrome then reinstall Chrome with the latest version.

BEWARE: You will lose all history, saved passwords and bookmarks so back it up if you want to keep these.

Slightly confused.
Are you saying back up passwords and bookmarks then delete Chrome completely and then re-install ?
