Delete Microsoft Silverlight Application Storage

Microsoft Silverlight based web applications can use application storage for many purposes. They can store small data files (like custom settings), and large files for applications that have graphically intensive features (like games, maps, and images). Silverlight based applications can also use application storage for saving user-generated content. If you want, you can delete this application storage. This is how :

  1. Open Microsoft Silverlight settings. There are many ways to do so —
    • You can open a website with Silverlight application, for example, http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/. Right-click on any Silverlight based application and select Silverlight.
