Description

What is the preferred way to delete / empty / clear a filesystem persisted using IDBFS?

I've found the deleteDatabase() and clear() functions that operate on an IDBFactory and IDBObectStore respectively, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get my IDBFS database name.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the IDBFS implementation in src/library idbfs.js to identify how the IndexedDB database name is constructed, then propose adding a function or documentation to expose or clear the database.
