I mean, i know the file is in "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" or "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default" and it's a "Cookies" named SQL file. But if I delete this file from my computer the cookies will not disappear from the browser. I want to manually delete this, not from Chrome's settings. Please, help me find the correct files and path.

Now, every time I try to open my html file in my Chrome browser, I get this message:
ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
Can someone please tell me how I can reverse this?
How do I grant Chrome the permission to access any local files on my VS Code and atom?
Now, Thanks to Kuma, check out the thread link he or she provided, which helped me. You just have to go to system preferences, and under security and privacy, go to filers and folders, and go to files and folders and check the check box next to chrome.
If you are on a Mac, you can try the following:
Run the the following command on the file in a terminal, then try to open it again:
xattr 'your .html file name'
# If it shows com.apple.quarantine, run
xattr -c 'your html file name'
If that fixes it then it's most likely some apple security metadata on the file that get attached when files are downloaded from the web.
If you are on Windows10, you can view all the permissions you have added and rejected for an app (see this link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/368598/how-to-manage-app-permissions-on-windows-10/amp/)
Extract:
From the Settings screen, you can head to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, click an app, and click “Advanced Options.”
Scroll down, and you’ll see the permissions the app can use under “App Permissions.” Toggle the app permissions on or off to allow or disallow access.
Otherwise, knowing what OS you are using will help find a solution.

I had gone through the below post on StackOverflow and I know where the chrome extensions are saved in the directory path, in MAC
Where to find extensions installed folder for Google Chrome on Mac?
But my question was, the directory path usually ends into the directory (which has several files and subdirectories)
Which file under this gives me the actual name of the Extension and its version?
For example say jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin is the extension id folder under /Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/. Which exact file should I look inside here to know the name and version of the extension ?
I need this to write a script , so please don't give GUI based solution. I need it on CLI
You are looking for manifest.json in that file you will find all information about chrome extension
/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/hash_of_your_selected_extenstion/manifest.json
I have a chrome extension that is installed via "Load unpacked extension," and I am trying to get it to delete itself or at least change its source code when a function is called. I have the chrome.management.uninstallSelf down, but I also need the source files for it to become changed/gone. Basically, I need the chrome extension to open the local file where its source is located and then delete/change some of the files inside it. Is there any way to do this?

No, this isn't normally* possible.
Chrome extensions have only read-only access to their own files (via chrome.runtime.getPackageDirectoryEntry or requests to chrome-extension://), and no access at all to the rest of the filesystem.
* All bets are off if you have a Native Host module though. It can do whatever, but would greatly complicate installation.
Where is chrome.storage.local stored for Chrome Apps in OSX yosemite?
I finally found it: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}. The whole {{chrome-app-id}} folder is a leveldb database. I was able to open it and inspect the contents of the stored file using the leveldb-ruby gem. Just do the following
require 'leveldb'
db = LevelDB:DB.new '~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}'
You can now query the database using the db object. By the way if you get a weird error saying that the db is being used by someone else make sure you kill chrome and erase the LOCK file.
localStorage is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Storage. You'll need the ID to find the correct files but they'll be prefixed with chrome- and have a file extension of .localstorage.
Based on some picking through the POSTMan App, it looks like it makes a call to chrome.storage.local and the data on my Mac is located here: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/<ID>/000003.log.
I just lost all my changes to my google chrome plugin. However, the plugin is still running within the browser.
Where does Google Chrome store its cached copy of unpacked extensions?
I was able to find luck in:
Non-windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
-or-
Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
EDIT: You can go to "chrome://version/" (like a url) and it shows your "Profile Path". There you can find an "Extensions" folder which is the one you're looking for.
Turns out that unpacked extensions are left in their original locations. Only packed extension get extracted to the places Alex.Piechowski mentioned.
On Linux (OpenSuse 12.3), I managed to find all my installed extensions here:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/
It's important to first take note of the extension ID in case u wish to just copy a particular extension. For this, open chrome://extensions/ in your browser, copy the id of the extension of interest, and find it's directory under the extensions directory given above.
Being able to locally save copies of extensions like this has helped me to continue using (and even modifying / hacking) on extension that were eventually removed from the Chrome Store by either their owners or Google.
So I was debugging an extension I am building on Mac OS X and couldn't find the SQLite database in any of the standard locations. It doesn't store the DB in the path where the extension files live.
Here's where I found my database when running an unpacked extension:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/databases/http_foobar.com_0/XX
-Eric
User profiles are stored in User Data Directory and it vary depending on the operating system.
The easiest way is to navigate to chrome://version and look for the Profile Path field.
Example (Windows):
[Profile Path] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
[User Data Dir] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Then Extensions are located under Extensions/ folder.
In windows:
Path: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions
(Here, you will not able to see extensions by name but it will be by extensions by Id. Extension Id you can get it from chrome→extension→Developer modes)
Or
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
Or
Download Extension Source Locator. Give your username. It will list out all the extension with path details.
