I am building a chrome extension, I want to read and write in the user's disk storage. I want to make folders in users' documents, store screenshots, and delete and read. Is it possible? I have searched, but could not find a way to do this, I want to know if it is possible, if it is possible, could you tell me, how to do that, or refer to some docs?

Extensions cannot access the file system directly. (except in very limited ways)
Native Messaging allows extensions to access the file system, by passing messages to and receiving messages from a native application, such as a Python script. The native application (which you have to program yourself) then accesses the file system directly.
Because your question isn't specific, I can only refer you to the official documentation:
