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.

Research direction
Investigate the IDBFS implementation in Emscripten, likely in library idbfs.js, to determine how the IndexedDB database name is constructed. The issue asks for a way to clear or delete the IDBFS database, which may involve calling IDBFactory.deleteDatabase() with the correct name. Check existing documentation or code comments for guidance. Optionally, look at related issues or PRs that might have addressed this.
