Final answer:

In JavaScript, to remove a specific item from local storage use 'localStorage.removeItem('key')', and to clear all data use 'localStorage.clear()'. These methods should be used carefully as they delete data permanently.

Step-by-step explanation:

To remove local storage data in JavaScript, you can use one of the following methods:

  • To remove a specific item, use the localStorage.removeItem('key') method, where 'key' is the name of the data you want to remove.
  • To clear all local storage, use the localStorage.clear() method. This will remove all data stored in local storage for that domain.

For example, if you stored data with the key 'user_settings', you would remove it using:

localStorage.removeItem('user_settings');

If you want to remove all local storage data for the domain, use:

localStorage.clear();

Remember to use these methods responsibly as they will permanently delete data that may be critical for your web application.
