How do I completely remove the Postman Chrome app on Ubuntu 18.04?

I backed up my home directory from Ubuntu 14.04, installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a new PC, then restored my home directory.
I went ahead and installed the native app following these instructions. Now I'm trying to remove the Chrome web app and I can't figure out how to uninstall it.
Both the Chrome app and the native app are showing up in my launcher - in fact, the Chrome app has an icon and the native app is missing its icon. But the Chrome app is not in Chrome's chrome://extensions page, so there's no option to uninstall.
I've searched my home directory for references to Postman (find ~ -iname "*postman*") and moved my ~/.config/Postman directory. This did remove my Postman history but did not remove the Postman Chrome app (not that I really expected it to).
How can I completely remove the Postman web app?
Edit
I fixed the missing icon image; the directions I followed had the wrong path for the icon image. The good news is that the old icon and the new have slightly different colouring, so I can tell them apart. But I'd still prefer to just have one.

Hover on any extension and click manage extension and then search postman and choose remove.
This will remove web app postman from Chrome.

I don't know if you manage to solve this, I had the exact same problem: I looked for postman references with both locate and find commands and removed all of them but the application was still there... Finally, I found it:
It was in ~/.local/share/applications, where you can find desktop files for different chrome extensions (with weird names). The one for Postman is: chrome-fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop-Profile_X.desktop, where the X depends on your profiles on chrome and for which of them you have the app installed.
