Q: Clearing website data stored on MacBook

I was doing a history clear and a cache clean on my MacBook.  Under Safari system preferences, when i click on manage website data, i have some that can't be removed. They never used to stay there when I deleted them before.  Is there something I can do to remove them.

    Visit Apple.com site.

     

    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data

    Click the "Manage website data..." button.

     

    Wait. It will take a while for the caches and cookies to populate.

    Click "Remove All" button at least three times.

     

    The problem is  that when you visit any of those sites, those cookies/caches will be reinstalled.

    I don't worry about this any more. I remove all these caches/cookies regularly.

     

     

    Best.
