How to delete indexedDB?

Question

I\'m working in a project which involves using IndexedDB. As I\'m begining to know this technology, I need to be able to delete an indexedDB by hand so I can start over.

This is maybe overkill for your specific question, but I kept ending up here in my struggle to delete my idb.

My solution in the end was based on mozilla's documentation, but required that I first close the database.

For me, in Javascript, the code looked like this:

my_db_instance.close(function(e){console.log(e)});
var DBDeleteRequest = indexedDB.deleteDatabase("my_db_name");

// When i had the base open, the closure was blocked, so i left this here
DBDeleteRequest.onblocked = function(event) {
  console.log("Blocked");
};

DBDeleteRequest.onerror = function(event) {
    console.log("Error deleting database.");
  console.log(event);
};

DBDeleteRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
  console.log("Database deleted successfully");
};
