I have some data in the localstorage that has to be deleted on app.quit(). But I see no way to do so from the main process.

Is there a way to call a

    You can send messages from the main process to a renderer process via webContents.send as called out in the documentation here: https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/api/web-contents.md#webcontentssendchannel-arg1-arg2-.

    Here is how you do it straight from the docs:

    In the main process:

    // In the main process.
    var window = null;
    app.on('ready', function() {
      window = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600});
      window.loadURL('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
      window.webContents.on('did-finish-load', function() {
        window.webContents.send('ping', 'whoooooooh!');
      });
    });
    

    In index.html:

    <!-- index.html -->
    <html>
    <body>
      <script>
        require('electron').ipcRenderer.on('ping', function(event, message) {
          console.log(message);  // Prints "whoooooooh!"
        });
      </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    

    Note it is asynchronous. I am not sure how that affects things with your particular solution, but this should at least get you talking back to the renderer process.

    You might use BrowserWindow.webContents.executeJavaScript like so in your main process:

    // will print "whoooooooh!" in the dev console
    window.webContents.executeJavaScript('console.log("whoooooooh!")');
    

    Although you might consider it a kinda messy/dirty approach, it works. And it does not require setting up anything in the renderer process which greatly simplified things for me.
    If you just want to call a particular method it would probably be quicker to write this way.
