I'm trying to delete cookies in Safari 10.13.6 When I select Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data a window opens but never populates. I've waited for 10-15 minutes with no success.
This same issue was posted by another user with the Safari version of 10.0.1. The response said to go to the Develop menu and empty the cache a few time. I tried that a few times but the issue still exist. Any other ways to make the list populate?

Thanks for the suggestions. I started in safe mode and the cookie list in safari loaded after about 30 seconds. I deleted a cookie to test it and it seemed to work. I restarted (without holding the shift ket) and again opened Safari. I went to the cookie list and it loaded within 30 seconds..... This suggestion seemed to be the fix. Thanks...
