How to reset chrome inspector?

On a Mac running 10.9.2:

 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local\ Storage

Or

~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome\ Canary/Default/Local\ Storage/

Remove

  • chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage
  • chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage-journal

Looks like in today's Chrome, there is a "Restore defaults and reload" button under Developer Tools => Preferences, which will work.


Find the following two files and delete them. These files contain the settings for the inspector.

chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage
chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage-journal

Please make sure to restart the Chrome again. Hope this helps.


  1. Open DevTools by pressing F12 or ctrl + shift + i
  2. press F1 or click on ... on the top right corner beside cross to open settings
  3. scroll at the bottom or to the right of screen and press [restore defaults and reload] button
  4. Restart chrome

NOTE: relaunch chrome is very much necessary

done !
