Local Storage refers to the browser’s data that a web site has saved to this computer. It can be used for semi-permanent data and can be accessed by you or the web site that you allowed the data to be saved at.

BFC utilizes the Local Storage to save logs of the activities on the page. Sometimes it is necessary to clear the Local Storage on that browser.

To start, you will need to open the Developer Tools on the browser you are using. Typically, the F12 key will open the Developer Tools. To see a specific site’s data, make sure you have navigated to the site before opening the Developer Tools.

  • IE11 “localStorage” on Console prompt to see
  • Firefox LocalStorage
  • Google Chrome LocalStorage

To clear any saved data, you can type “localStorage.clear();” on the Debug Console window and it will delete all data saved in the browser for this web site.

To clear additional data, see your Browser’s Cache Data Reset commands.
