Windows 10: Chromium won't uninstall

Whenever I restart my computer chromium opens up but when I try to uninstall it all it says is "folder is in use". I've tried the folder, control panel, and many other things but it always says the same thing.

I don't know if this is a virus or something but I know this isn't supposed to happen.
