Unable to remove localStorage data

This is some weird error:

localStorage.removeItem("myKey");
var temp = localStorage.getItem("myKey");

// temp = undefined

But, if I ctrl-F5 and do this:

var temp = localStorage.getItem("myKey");
console.log(temp);

Then all data is still there! How can I completely remove it?

To remove all localStorage data, do it with:

localStorage.clear()

Fiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/f5w3p/

Now... to remove only specific Item and not all the data.. just with removeItem

localStorage.removeItem('test')

Fiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/f5w3p/1/

...
If after Ctrl+F5 you still get some or even same data as before...
...then you must be setting up that data again before you actually read it.

Give us a full working fiddle example and for sure, someone find's out where your problem is.

How about trying this:

 delete window.localStorage["myKey"]
