Answer 1

Just wanted to contribute for IE 11. The localstorage is stored in: C:\Users[YOUR USER ACCOUNT]\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore

However, it is hidden by default. To show this folder you have to: Folder Options --> Uncheck "Hide protected operating system file" Back to folder, you will see some sub folder inside. Go to each folder will see some XML files according for websites.
