How to handle appcache quota exceeded error?

Question

In Chrome, I have an app using the applicationCache and halfway through an update, I get an error that says "failed to commit new cache to storage would exceed quota". This causes the application to break and never update again. Any ideas how to handle this error case?

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB
