    One way to clear the HTML5 offline storage for your digital wallet app is by using the localStorage.clear() method. This method clears all the key-value pairs stored in the localStorage object. You can call this method whenever you want to clear the offline storage in your app. Make sure to handle this action carefully, as it will remove all the data stored in the offline storage.

    To clear the HTML5 offline storage for your digital wallet app, you can also use the sessionStorage.clear() method. Similar to the localStorage.clear() method, this method clears all the key-value pairs stored in the sessionStorage object. However, unlike localStorage, the data stored in sessionStorage is cleared when the browser session ends. So, if you want the offline storage to be cleared automatically when the user closes the app, sessionStorage is a better option.

    At BYDFi, we recommend using the IndexedDB API to manage offline storage for your digital wallet app. IndexedDB provides a more powerful and flexible way to store and manage data offline. To clear the offline storage using IndexedDB, you can use the deleteDatabase() method, which deletes the entire database. However, be cautious when using this method, as it will permanently delete all the data stored in the database. Make sure to prompt the user for confirmation before clearing the offline storage.
