What is the way to clear localStorage data in Chrome Background Extension
<p>In the background script if I do something like:</p>

<pre><code>localStorage.lastname = "Smith";
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any way I can clear "lastname" property like we do using History all clear in any browser? Without doing programatically and also without removing the extension?</p>

<p>Since HTML5 <code>localStorage</code> access is synchronous operation unlike <code>chrome.storage</code>. I just want to be sure that even though if ordinary user clears the browser history the localStorage set by the background script remains there</p>
