User data directory error when running bot

[khangbeo]

I followed the installation guide and downloaded the latest versions of Chrome, ChromeDriver, and Python. Upon running the bot, I ran into the following error where the bot failed to open Chrome. This occur while I have an open Chrome session. Next, I tried to run the bot with all Chrome instances closed and ran into a second error that told me that Chrome crashed.

1st Error:

Runtime error: Error running the bot: Failed to initialize browser: Message: invalid argument: user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir

2nd Error:

Runtime error: Error running the bot: Failed to initialize browser: Message: session not created: Chrome failed to start: crashed.
  (chrome not reachable)
  (The process started from chrome location C:\Users\Kbeo\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

unistall ChromeDriver, reistall chrome and find and delete this file /home/.config/google-chrome/linkedin_profile

[khangbeo]

Where should ChromeDriver be placed? I'm trying to follow the steps here to ensure correct file path but not sure how that can be configured for the bot
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromedriver/get-started

Also, where can I find the path: /home/.config/google-chrome/linkedin_profile

[feder-cr]

try to

unistall chromedriver
unistalll chrome
delete folder C:\Users[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Google
delete folder C:\home.config\google-chrome
Reinstall chrome
Start bot
