Same here. I did delete the extension path but somehow Chromium seems to
think it's still here (I have the same output as you except "Shared
Module Platforms"). You can check if it is running using the task
manager: from various bug reports, it is not hidden here. You can also
disable it in chrome://settings in the "Search" section: "Enable Ok
Google to start a voice search". Various bug reports exist to say that
it may not prevent the extension from running.

If it is not possible to disable it by default and make it appear in
chrome://extensions, it would be better to not ship at all this
extension (only the shared module seems to be downloaded, the remaining
of the code seems to be still here).
