You need to have material settings flag activated, then go into settings > clear browsing data. You have taken the wrong path.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "sureshkumari@chromium.org" for another review and adding "Needs-Review" label for tracking.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Win7/64 bit & Mac OSX 10.11.6 - Version 54.0.2840.59 m (64-bit) even after enabling the flag "Enable Material Design settings" in chrome://flags

Can you please upgrade to the latest stable build available & check if you still see this issue ?

Thank you for the report.

I am also not able to reproduce though. The backend has not changed recently, so I don't believe this would be a regression. My expectation would be that the deletion is not infinite, just takes a long time.

A few debugging questions:
1. How long approximately has it taken until you gave up (presumably closed the dialog / restarted Chrome / ?)
2. Which datatypes and time range were you deleting?
3. Do you remember the sizes of the datatypes (how many MB of cache? history items? etc.)
4. Does it work after restarting Chrome?

Closing for lack of feedback in 30 days. Please reopen if still occurring (and provide answers to questions in c#6).
