Chromium can't clear browsing data

[Raphael]

When I attempt to "Clear browsing data" in chromium I see the following in a terminal.

 [...] RemoveFilesRecursively: unlink dir: Directory not empty

 ClearSiteData returned error

I tried rm -rf ~/.config/chromium ; rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium but this made no difference.

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

Do you see a problem in the clearing of data, or are you interpreting the stdout log messages as an error?

[Raphael (drraph)]

The messages appear in the terminal window from where I opened chromium-browswer. Did I misunderstand your question?
