After reading the other comments I decided not to update. I then tried to launch my currently installed version 5.0. It wouldn't work! So I trashed it and went back to version 4.3 and that works just fine. Guess I'll stay with that one forever.

Here's What I Did - tisme0890

Well, after having read the thread, I decided to delete Google. Using AppZapper, I trashed everything, app's, widgets, everything... Much to my surprise, there were over 6,700 files, most of them Caches, taking over 550 MB of disk space. Half a Gig? Too much, and, I do Not like what I have read about Google here; granted, it's a microscopic sample, but I have decided not to use any Google products whatsoever. Especially one that puts over 6,000 files on my computer. There are too many other good products out there that will do the job. I will miss Google Earth, but... I don't need it to live. Thank you all for the viewpoints.
