How to remove Google Custom Search from Chrome?

Hello!
Can't remove Google Custom Search from Chrome. The search options say 'This setting has been enabled by your administrator', so I can't change the default search. I remember recently I launched an application update, and after that this thing appeared. Reinstalling didn't help. There are no more accounts in Chrome.
Here are the screenshots:
This is how it looks:

This is what is in the search settings:

I have a Chromium browser, the installation had the same problem. It was solved like this:
$ sudo rm /etc/chromium/policies/managed/chrome.json
The problem is also solved with Google Chrome (naturally, the path to this file is different).
If the file is difficult to find through the terminal, then:
$ sudo nautilus
And look in the etc/chrome folder (/opt?)/policies/managed/chrome.json (just don't delete anything extra ^_^)

Didn't find what you were looking for?
