title: Is chrome.storage.sync data cleared when an extension or app is uninstalled?
body: <p>I have a <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/super-simple-tasks/bngpflcpbefndiblbdjokgpmbldcoplk" rel="noreferrer">simple Chrome extension</a> that uses <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage" rel="noreferrer">chrome.storage.sync</a> to store a list of tasks. </p>
  
  <p>The following command in the console would clear all sync data for the extension: </p>
  
  <pre><code>chrome.storage.sync.clear()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If my users are having trouble with syncing, can I simply instruct them to uninstall the extension and install it again to have the same effect as that command?</p>
