apt-get remove libopencv-* --purge ; apt-get autoremove

So due to the build requirements, chromium is currently not a *.deb
package. I'd like to change this. But to give you an idea, it takes a
Quad Core Cortex A9, running at 1.2Ghz with 2GB of ram and a 7200rpm
sata drive 8 hours to build..

SO just:
rm -rf /usr/lib/chromium/
rm -f /usr/bin/chromium

you can also dump:

/usr/share/man/
