html - How do I uninstall a Service Worker?

Question

After deleting /serviceworker.js from my root directory, Chrome still runs the service worker that I removed from my webroot. How do I uninstall the service worker from my website and Chrome so I can log back into my website?

I've tracked the issue down to Service Work's cache mechanism and I just want to remove for now until I have time to debug it. The login script that I'm using redirects to Google's servers for them to login to their Google account. But all I get from the login.php page is an ERR_FAILED message.

Removing Service Workers Programmatically

You can remove service workers programmatically like this:

navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistrations().then(function(registrations) {
 for(let registration of registrations) {
  registration.unregister()
} })

Docs: getRegistrations, unregister

Removing Service Workers Through The User Interface

You can also remove service workers under the Application tab in Chrome Devtools.
