On Windows 7, I tried running this script but still cannot clear Chrome temp data. Can someone figure out what's wrong with the script? Where do Chrome store history and cache ? Thanks

taskkill /F /IM "chrome.exe">nul 2>&1

I am running it with admin account. The script doesn't failed, it deleted files, but the history (OmniBar, search keyword..etc) is not cleared – Dio Phung – 2012-11-22T07:48:47.467
6@DioPhung if you've enabled sync, then they're sync'd to your Google account – Sathyajith Bhat – 2012-11-22T08:05:42.460
@Sathya : yeah you're right, OmniBox history is sync'd to Google. +1 for that hint ;) ! – Dio Phung – 2012-11-23T02:48:14.007
