    Think you would have to deal with each individually as each browser would implement differently.

    sessionStorage.clear
    
    localStorage.clear
    

    and for cookies there is already a good answer on SO

    You could of course just put these into your own function.

    If the application cache is server side you could have an ajax call to a http post that deletes this.

    UPDATE:
    it is advised against clearing application cache, http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#expiring-application-caches. What would you be storing there that you would want deleted?
