Web Storage: removeItem()

The removeItem() method deletes the value stored under one key.

localStorage.removeItem('draft');

Removing a key that does not exist is safe. Use this method when a preference or temporary value should no longer be kept.

Common mistakes

• Remove the value from the same storage object where it was saved.
• Do not assume removal from one tab removes another tab's session state.
• Update the page UI after deleting a value if the UI displays it.
