Unable to delete Cookies in Monterey

Unable to delete Cookies Safari->Preferences->Privacy->Manage Web Site Data and select "Remove all" and there the Cookies remain.

Unable to remove "Manually," there's lots of "HowTo's" out there but all don't seem to apply to OS Monterey.

Hit this Problem on OS Big Sur, updated then the Problem went away.

Same Problem on my 2014 MacBook Pro under Big Sur. That was resolved by the update to version 11.7.4 (on the MacBook).

Question is, is there a reliable way to manually remove Cookies? (excluding Onyx and erasing History from advance options under developer tools) or is there an update coming (12.6.3 currently here) that will fix the issue in the near future? Thx

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

Close Safari first

On desktop go to GO and then GO TO FOLDER

Copy and paste this ~/Library/Safari/Databases

A folder called _indexedDB

Open _indexedDB

See another folder called v1 and open it

The folder inside the v1 can be Drag and Drop to Trash

Launch Safari again and check if all is ok

Many thanks for you're helpful suggestion but alas they are still there. Are they "mirrored" some where else perhaps or stored in a different place?

Thx for replying
