Cookie wants to access an old user account
-
About a year ago I had to create a new user account. This was a temporary measure and that account is now deleted. I find though that every time the iMac restarts Cookie want to access the old non-existen accoutn. It even seems to create a couple of empty folders with the old user account name!
How can I stop Cookie doing this?

strange,
you could try resetting Cookie by deleting this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5
you will lose all your settings and favourites by doing this though, but you can restore them if you make a copy of the files in this folder:
/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5/Data/Library/Application Support/Cookie5
then delete the folder
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookie5
restart Cookie, quit, and place the files you saved before back into the same folder

@SweetP Hi Russell and thanks for your thoughts. I followed your suggestion but on a restart there was the old user account stuff. I'm really not sure if I shouldn't just hide (by making invisible) those recurring folders to get them off my mind and simply ignore them.
Thanks anyhow, Richard
