For the record, it is chromium-browser folks. The package chromium is a game, that's why the OP kept receiving messages that it wasn't installed.

rm -rf ~ /.config/chromium/default
this one was the command I executed. It deleted my whole home folder...

rm -rf ~ /.config/chromium/default

That is because you have a space between the ~ and /. The remove command thinks you are giving it 2 locations to delete, your home directory being ~ and /.config/chromium/default which would not exist at that location. The ~ symbol is just a quick way of typing the path to your home folder.

Er, lovinglinux already said it....next time I'll read the whole thread ;)

Actually, package chromium is a transitional dummy package for a game. The package 'chromium' is NOT the chromium browser. The chromium browser package is 'chromium-browser'.
package chromium
transitional dummy package to pull in chromium-bsu
package chromium-browser
Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster,
and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web.
So it is better to be specific and ...
So you want to type this in terminal:
sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser
and then remove any left over config folders in your $HOME directory if necessary.
If you installed the Chrome browser, not the chromium browser, then it is again a *different* package
package google-chrome-beta
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
So you would type
sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-beta
