So I've been running a Windows 7 / Ubuntu 12.04 LTS dual boot for a while, and have been having a weird issue with the Chromium Adobe Flash Plug-in working for some YouTube videos and not working for others. I'd like to do a complete un-install and re-install of the plug-in to Chromium, but I'm not sure how to do that correctly. Note that the Plug-in works fine in Firefox, so it's no big deal, but it is something I would like to see get fixed. Can someone please instruct me on how to un-install and re-install the Chromium plug-in?
Thanks, you all are the best!

Chromium doesn't come bundled with any version of Flash (which I think you know), but instead uses the system version of Flash. This comes in the
flashplugin-installerpackage. Technically, this just includes an installer that downloads the actual Flash binary.You can try removing that package (
sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer), but that might just remove the installer.
