In order to complete @Judson's answer, based on @fullstacklife's comment; for deleting IndexedDB in chrome using javascript you should:

let currentIDB = indexedDB.open("DB_NAME", DB_VERSION_INTEGER);
    currentIDB.onblocked = function(){
        //
    };
    currentIDB.onerror = function(){
        //
    };
    currentIDB.onsuccess = function(){
        var idb = currentIDB.result;
        idb.close();
        indexedDB.deleteDatabase("DB_NAME");
    };
