title: Clear Specific Values from Your Browser Local Storage
|
|
---
|
|
Removing specific values from your browser's local storage will solve many problems related to the browser crashing or freezing on FreeCodeCamp.
|
|
|
|
This solves, as example, a common problem with browser hanging out in a challenge's page after saving a response with an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
When this happens, you must delete the value in `localStorage` storing that response.
|
|
|
|
## In Chrome:
|
|
|
|
* On **freecodecamp.com**, open your developer tools.
|
|
* More tools > Developer tools (or `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `I` (Windows), `Cmd` + `Opt` + `I` (Mac))
|
|
|
|
* Navigate to the `Resources` tab
|
|
|
|
* Expand the `Local Storage` item in the left pane
|
|
* Select `http://www.freecodecamp.com`
|
|
* Find the challenge you wish to delete data in the right pane 
|
|
* Right click the desired challenge and select `Delete`
|
|
|
|
## In Firefox:
|
|
|
|
* On **freecodecamp.com**, open your web console with
|
|
* `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `K`
|
|
|
|
* From there, using directly the console:
|
|
|
|
* Type `console.log(localStorage);` and hit `Enter`.
|
|
|
|
* Click in `Storage` link. 
|
|
* The **Storage** panel will appear at right.
|
|
* Filter the results to find the Algorithm, Front End Project or Challenge causing the problem.
|
|
* When located, mouse over it and click the `x` at right. 
|
|
* Once removed, check if the problem was solved. Refresh or close and open the browser if necessary.

**Note:** This can also be done with the <a href='https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Storage_Inspector' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Storage Inspector</a>, but seems like Firefox hangs out when there are so many values. |
