Try to type this in the JavaScript console

localStorage.clear();
sessionStorage.clear();

I think this is the most straightforward way to do this. I don't see any option that explicitly affects localStorage and/or sessionStorage in developer tools (at least nothing that looks like the Resources view in Dev Tools in Chrome).

EDIT2 In Microsoft Edge, there is a way to see/clear localStorage, sessionStorage and cookies through the GUI.

  • Open the Dev Tools (F12)
  • Go to Debugger View
  • Open the localStorage tab (click the folder icon or Ctrl+O, select localStorage)
  • Select all and delete (through right clicking, or Ctrl-A + Del)
