Clear service workers, storage, databases, and caches

Sometimes you just need to wipe all of the data for a given origin. The Clear Storage pane on the Application panel lets you selectively unregister service workers, storage, and caches. To clear data, just enable the checkboxes next to the components that you want to wipe, and then click Clear site data. The action wipes all of the data for the origin listed under the Clear storage label.
