Question: Is there any API to make Uppy clear its localStorage?

Lets say that I want to force uppy to forget what it was doing?

What is that Uppy stores in localStorage for you? By default it shouldn’t. If remember correctly, Local Storage is currently used: 1. if you add a PersistentState plugin or 2. In examples, for their settings: https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard/.

Or perhaps you are talking about something like this: https://github.com/transloadit/content/pull/281. We should look into adding a smart reset method that will clear files, meta and other things, while keeping installed plugins, what do you think @goto-bus-stop, good idea? Maybe its already implemented somewhere and I’m overlooking 😱 . But this is different to #182, which is also very cool.

Yeah, #182 was mostly for #162. A reset thing would be useful, too.

An uppy.reset() has been added in 0.17: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uppy. When you call .reset() on an Uppy instance, it should clear all files, including canceling uploads in progress, set progress to 0, thus, well reseting everything. Let me know if this helps!
