delete $localStorage.storageName not working

[rabin-naga]

delete $localStorage.storageName clears the localStorage
but when we add a new value the old values are still there.

where as localStorage.removeItem('storageName') resets the localStorage to blank/null ie storageName = [];

How can I use delete $localStorage.storageName to reset the localStorage to blank?

I just wanted to report the same.
I switched back to the raw localstorage temporary, it works as excepted.
