I am testing a chrome extension in dev mode. Once I finish it, I packaged it and installed on my machine! It is working. But I am not sure whether the old localStorage was removed when I uninstalled the extension from browser(Dev mode).
Will the associated localStorage be removed when uninstalling an extension from dev mode and installing the same thing as a packaged extension?
All associated data with an extension is removed when the extension is uninstalled. You can verify this by visiting your Chrome profile directory, and descend in
Local Storage. You’ll see a SQLLite database (eg.chrome-extension_lndfmdleiloedhcbmjofibnflfbjhpha_0.localstorage).After removing the extension, this database disappears.
