I have never had the "OK Google" voice search option enabled and chrome://voicesearch/ shown below. I deleted the hotword file specified as the extension path and also `rm rf` directories under the "Extensions/lccekmodgklaepjeofjdjpbminllajkg" specified as the Shared Module path. I also changed owner of the directory "lccekmodgklaepjeofjdjpbminllajkg" to root and the permission to read only. After restarting chrome, the extension/module still shows up in the chrome://voicesearch/ and Enabled in the chrome://extensions/ when --show-component-extension-options is used. Further, chrome://extensions/ shows "Hotword triggering" as allowed in Incognito Mode. Unchecking the box is automatically re-enabled.
