How do I remove a "database" from Safari?

Under manage "website data ..." in the preferences on Safari, I keep having a "database" pop up that I have removed over and over, again. I am not revisiting the site and, yet, the "databases" for this website keeps putting itself back into my website data. It is very annoying as I keep my cookies, etc very clean and exclusive to the current website I am visiting.


Does anyone know how to permanently remove website data that keeps popping up?

Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Safari/Browsers – can’t delete cookies


Evercookie


Quit Safari.


In Finder go to Go menu and then Go to Folder.


Copy and paste this ~/Library/Safari/Databases.


Delete the contents of the folder.


Launch Safari again and check if all is ok.


If that doesn’t work, copy and paste this ~/Library/Safari/Local Storage.


Delete the contents of the folder.


Test.
