I have uploaded a chrome extension on webstore but lost the local from my desktop. Is there any way to download the extension back either from webstore or developer dashboard such that I get all my files?

Just install it and then go to your User Data directory…..
http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory
..then into the directory of the profile you installed it under, then the extensions directory and then the directory with the key of your extension, then the directory with the latest version and youll find all your files. You can find the key listed on the extension page in chrome in developer mode. Dont forget to edit the manifest, remove the update url and such.
Or if your on windows (I know it works in XP, never tested vista/7) you can use my convenience tool ExtensionOpener…..
