If you are familiar with Google Chrome developer console, then you might have already used Application > Clear Storage to clear site data. As we can see in the screenshot below, we can select what all things get deleted.

The Application > Clear Storage option gives you more control, however, sometimes I feel its time consuming to figure out where Application tab is in the first place and then click on the Clear Site Data button.

In version, 75 the Google Chrome team added support to clear the site data directly from the command menu. This new shortcut is going to save some time in my opinion.

To open the command menu, press, Control+Shift+P(Windows) or Command+Shift+P (Mac), and then type Clear site data command.

This is going to delete all data related to the page, including

  • Service workers
  • localStorage
  • sessionStorage
  • IndexedDB
  • Web SQL
  • Cookies
  • Cache
  • Application Cache.
