How to delete indexedDB?

Question

I\'m working in a project which involves using IndexedDB. As I\'m begining to know this technology, I need to be able to delete an indexedDB by hand so I can start over.

Answer 1

I've had success running the following in Chrome:

indexedDB.deleteDatabase('DB NAME')

Answer 2

In Debian GNU/Linux directory

/home/[username]/.config/google-chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-xxx.indexeddb.leveldb/

contains regular files (for example):

000003.log, CURRENT, LOCK, LOG, MANIFEST-000002

Answer 3

In theory, all you need to do to delete an IndexedDB in Chrome is:

1. In Chrome, go to Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings > All cookies and Site Data > find the domain where you created the IndexedDB
2. Hit either the "X" or click "Indexed Database" > Remove

In Windows, the file is located here:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB

On Mac, do the following:

1. In Chrome, go to "Settings" (or "Preferences" under the Chrome menu)
2. Click "show advanced settings" (at the bottom of the page)
3. Go to "Privacy" > "Content Settings" > "All cookies and Site Data" > find the domain where you created the IndexedDB
4. Hit either the "X" or click "Indexed Database" > Remove

On Mac, the folder is located here:

/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/

On Linux, the folder is located at:

/home/[USERNAME]/.config/google-chrome/Default/IndexedDB/

Answer 4

In Chrome webkit you can use webkitGetDatabaseNames which returns all database names

With this code, you can delete all local indexedDB:

window.indexedDB.webkitGetDatabaseNames().onsuccess = function(sender,args)
{
    var r = sender.target.result;
    for(var i in r)
        indexedDB.deleteDatabase(r[i]);
}; 

Answer 5

In windows, you can manually delete the whole IndexedDB databases by locating the IndexedDB directory for the browser and deleting it

For Chrome:

C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\IndexedDB

You can delete every folder which clears up the indexedDB. You can start over now.
