Function clearSpotifyAuthData

clearSpotifyAuthData(): Promise<void>

Clears all cookies and storage data related to Spotify authentication

Performs a thorough cleaning of browser session data by:

Removing all Spotify-specific cookies across relevant domains
Clearing all storage types (localStorage, indexedDB, etc.)
Ensuring complete session state reset

This function is particularly important when:

Implementing "Log in with a different account" functionality
Ensuring complete logout for security purposes
Resolving authentication issues caused by stale session data
Forcing the Spotify account selection screen to appear

The function handles errors gracefully and logs all actions for debugging purposes.

Returns Promise<void>

Promise that resolves when all cookies and storage are cleared

Example

// Force account selection by clearing existing auth data
await clearSpotifyAuthData();
startAuthFlow(mainWindow, clientId, clientSecret, redirectUri, true);
