# Clear your environment to test web push

Clear the saved data in your browser to test web push from scratch

This guide provides instructions on how to clear your environment to test web push and opt-in from scratch.

Our web SDK saves a local storage item and there is also a push subscription sitting separately in the browser settings. These must both be cleared.

If you delete data but keep the push subscription, the next time the user opens the website they will be automatically subscribed to push notifications with the same token. To make a clean environment you need to delete both data and the push subscription in settings.

Details on removing your push subscription for the different browsers and platforms can be found below:
