I have installed chromium from ubuntu software I first tried to install it first using sudo apt-get install chromium-browser but the process stuck there and I saw lot of comments on it. So I killed that process and used ubuntu software to install it. And later I used the ubuntu software to remove it and restarted.

I also used the commands

rm -rf ~/.config/chromium

rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium

sudo rm -rf /etc/chromium

But I still see some files in the root folder

First, don't worry too much about "complete removal". Your system will not loose performance in any way. At worst, some disk space will still be occupied.

Chromium is installed as a Snap. When removing, the program files are automatically erased from your disk. Your user configuration for chromium is automatically backed up in a system folder and purged automatically after 30 days.

What will remain, is a "chromium" folder in your "snap" folder right in your home folder, containing very few items. Feel free to remove that. Leave the rest to the automated framework for installing and removal of software, with which you interacted through Ubuntu Software.
