Where to find File system inspector or how to activate it on Google Chrome 50+?

Hi, Saif,

I am suffering from the same problem, have you found the way to enable file system inspector?

I'm not familiar with the term "file system inspector". Was this a feature that you used on Chrome 49 or below? What are you trying to accomplish?

I believe it was a Developer Tools Experiment, called "File system inspector" or similar. I guess it let you inspect the FileSystem API storage.

Are there any alternatives? My File System folder is taking up precious 3 GB and I want to drill down into which site(s) is/are responsible for filling up my tiny SSD with junk. (Mostly duplicate files I already have saved, elsewhere)

Just deleting the whole File System feels too harsh and the redundant files will doubtless return.

Check yours here: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\File System\

Not sure if anyone cares, but I do so here goes:

I went through the websites I visit one by one, inspecting their local storage. It was super tedious without the global inspector tool.

But in the end it was easy enough to identify the main culprit: Megaupload and other file sharers were stealing my SSD, mostly.

Others to look at are: OneDrive, Google Drive, Box net, Dropbox, etc. I still need to hunt down over 1 GB! But I removed 2/3 already.
