Bump.  Any help is appreciated!

What is it that you uninstall after Chrome opens, the trash icon or Google Chrome? On my Deepin, the trash icon cannot be uninstalled or removed, but just sent to dock, sent to desktop, and added to startup. Does Chrome open when you click the Chrome icon?  You might try right clicking on the dock tray and trying the "classic" and "efficient"  options for the tray, for when I try these modes, there is no trash icon present on either one. You could also try uninstalling Chrome, then reinstall. Good luck.

Well, I first uninstalled Chrome.  The Trash icon works.  I installed Chrome and the Chrome icon launches Chrome .  Unfortunately so does the Trash icon which cannot be removed.  I can add a second Trash icon which does not launch Chrome.  I tried all (Fashion Mode, Efficient Mode & Classic Mode).  I tried Smart Hide, keep hidden and keep showing options.

Nothing seems to fix the issue so I have opted to keep the dock in Fashion Mode, Smart Hidden - adding a second Trash icon.   I suspect this is a bug.  I do appreciate your help.    

Any other thoughts are appreciated!

Who knows? Perhaps it is a bug, but I have not seen this problem mentioned anywhere on this forum so far. Maybe there was a momentary glitch in you Deepin download or usb writing that caused the problem.Hopefully,  a forum member who knows the fix for this will come along to lend a hand.

I'm not sure but maybe you have dde-trash.desktop file in your home.

do this in the terminal

1) cd
2) cd .local/share/applications
3) ls
and if you see this file, remove it like that:
4) rm -f dde-trash.desktop
5) reboot

if you do not see it, then you can search for it, it need to be just one and this is in /usr/share/applications/dde-trash.desktop. Maybe you can investigate in that way...

After ls, I get 'chrome-dcdlnbbnjknldpikkllanljjbnegnnei-Default.desktop  mimeapps.list'

No clue what that means.  

Thanks

Hi, you mean the trash icon at the right side of Dock ? It  should have nothing to do with google-chrome. Can you please post some screenshots or video?
