I have an app in which I'm setting the localStorage, and suddenly the localStorage isn't setting anymore, and I get the error in the console:

Failed to execute 'setItem' on 'Storage': Setting the value of 'myapp' exceeded the quota.

However, when I go to Chrome localStorage under Application tab, and go into where my app is hosted, i.e., localhost:5000, there are no values in it, which means that localStorage for localhost:5000 is empty. Why does Chrome say that the quota is exceeded?

Are you in private mode? No LocalStorage in priv mode – Syntax Error Mar 22 '20 at 22:44
What's the value of myapp? Guessing it's over the size limit, not the rest of local storage. – Phix Mar 22 '20 at 22:47
