  1. Open DevTools by pressing F12 or ctrl + shift + i
  2. press F1 or click on ... on the top right corner beside cross to open settings
  3. scroll at the bottom or to the right of screen and press [restore defaults and reload] button
  4. Restart chrome

NOTE: relaunch chrome is very much necessary

done !

Looks like in today's Chrome, there is a "Restore defaults and reload" button under Developer Tools => Preferences, which will work.

Thought I needed to remove chrome dev tools on a windows 10 machine. I was debugging and looking at sources of files , bootstrap in particular and the developer tools locked up. I was looking through all the chrome user data but then I ended up fixing it by

Open up chrome by itself , then open dev tools and clear the console and then navigate to elements, then I opened the localhost page I was constantly getting frozen on and then it worked.

True it is not necessarily "fixed" but it beats spending hours with no reward.

On a Mac running 10.9.2:

 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local\ Storage

Or

~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome\ Canary/Default/Local\ Storage/

Remove

  • chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage
  • chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage-journal

Find the following two files and delete them. These files contain the settings for the inspector. 

chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage
chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage-journal

Please make sure to restart the Chrome again. Hope this helps.
