As the 2nd article points out, they are capable of regenerating after deletion with files that go to many parts of the system.
Safari/Browsers – can’t delete cookies
The myth of the dangerous cookie
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/LocalStorage.
Delete the contents of the folder.
Then go to Safari/History and delete any entries for the related websites.
Test.
I really apprieciate the quick response. I tried both ways but no success. I went to Go then down to folders, then put in each of the instructions each time. I hit entered and nothing happened then I used delete. then I went back to Safari and cleared all History, then to Preferences
then manage website data then Remove all. but they remained there.Did I do something wrong? I have a Mac Pro mid 2015 with 10.11.6 os
Clarification questions - when you used the Go command were you in Finder? Did you paste in the command in? Were you taken to the folders?
o to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Safari. That should give you access to the 2 folders.
yes, to the right of finder 4 boxes over .it says Go I clicked on Go and went down to the bottom and picked Folders, the I pasted the instructions and hit Go to Folders it said no folders and I then hit Cancel
Try the 2nd paragraph in my last post. The first word is Go, not o.
