Cookie does not delete local storage items - Safari browser

wernerdb

There are plenty of "local storage" items that remain after a full cleanup with Cookie. Cookie indicates that all items were deleted but they're stil in the safari list (Privacy). Is there a way to delete these items?

same here, don't see that Cookie is doing anything useful, just playing it's own game while Safari keeps all cookies

SweetP

you need to restart Safari, for the localStorage cookies to show as being removed. Same as with cache cookies.

@SweetP I'm noticing the same behaviour as of Cookie v6.7.2 and Safari Version 15.5 (17613.2.7.1.8). Even after quitting Safari and relaunching it. Local Storage entries continue to stay in the Manage Websites list.

@SweetP Looks like v6.8 resolves this for me, once I updated, I saw 1800+ Safari Non-Favourites appear.

Edit: I spoke too soon, although Cookie now removes all of these new entries, Safari still lists them as 'Cache'.

Now on Safari Version 16.0 (17614.1.25.9.10, 17614).

@planet thats great!

planet

@planet Are the Cache entries in Safari expected behaviour if they are not visible in Cookie?

SweetP

@planet yes, Cookie doesnt parse through Individual cache items. It’s currently managed (all or nothing) by the cache removal checkbox.

Computers are getting much faster, perhaps in the future I’ll take a look and parsing through this as well.

@SweetP Ah, that makes sense. That would be awesome.
