Is chrome.storage.sync data corrected when uninstalling an extension or application?

Question

I have a simple Chrome extension that uses chrome.storage.sync to save a task list.

The following command in the console will clear all synchronization data for extension:

chrome.storage.sync.clear() 

If my users have problems with synchronization, can I just ask them to remove the extension and install it again to have the same effect as this command?

Answer 1

This is one of those questions where the answer is "why don't you try?"

I have a test extension published to the Chrome Web Store for testing storage.sync . I can confirm that removing it using Chrome Sync activates the nuclear storage.
