Cache not cleared

Project Member Reported by wberoux@google.com, Mar 17 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2679.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Hangouts extension jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh
2. Use it for a while
3. Clear cache via "Clear browsing data"

What is the expected behavior?
Cache to be empty or nearly empty.

What went wrong?
~/.config/google-chrome-*/Profile/Storage/ext/jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh/E062AEDB7E2E/Cache

contains 200 MB of data on one machine and profile, and 160 MB on another profile and another machine. "data_3" file in that folder is over 30 MB. It remains even after I tried to delete most:
 - Browsing history
 - Download history
 - Cookies and other site and plugin data
 - Cached images and files
 - Hosted app data
 - Content licenses
(only missed out Password and Autofill).

WebStore page: 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2679.0  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu LTS
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Not sure why I'm CCed here...  I know nothing about the cache.  By "data_3", do you mean "User Data\Default\Cache\data_3", or some other data_3?  There are multiple caches, and it's unclear which one we're referring to.

I mean ~/.config/google-chrome-*/Profile/Storage/ext/jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh/E062AEDB7E2E/Cache/data_3

By itself it's only one file but that folder in total takes a lot of space and none of it is freed by asking Chrome to clear the cache.

Just to add to this, in total ~/.config/google-chrome-*/Profile/Storage/ext/jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh is 500 MB on one machine, 600 MB on another, with something like 98% of that under /Cache/ directories.
