Does anyone have a script that they use to reset Google Chrome user data?

I found something similar for Safari at:
https://github.com/palantir/jamf-pro-scripts/blob/master/scripts/Reset%20Safari.sh

But couldn't find anything similar for Google Chrome.

I found a thread about this on Jamf Nation here but since the script would run with Casper admin I'm not sure that would work for me.

I imagine I could probably adapt the Safari script for Google Chrome as well...

I plan to distribute via a Self Serve policy with Jamf Pro.

I was looking for the same so I edited the one you linked and made this one.
