@SweetP Thanks a lot. It works.

@SweetP Thanks a lot Russell. I am looking forward to try it.

@SweetP Thanks a lot. Pretty cool that you identified the issue.

@SweetP It does not work for me as described. Cookie doesn't beachball.

I took a look into Console if that helps. For Cookie (CoreServicesInternal) it writes an error 10 times at the moment when pressing "Delete" inside Cookie for the unremovable entries:
"Scoped bookmarks can only be created for existing files or directories".

@SweetP Thanks a lot Russell.
I am somehow puzzled. Quitting my browser (Safari?) before opening Safari? I tried several combinations of quitting and starting orders of Cookie and Safari but the database entries are still there with 6.8.1.

6.8.1 behaves the same as described above. I hope this is reproducible.

@SweetP Does not make a difference. Databases still remain.
Same behaviour happens on

• I installed 6.8.
• Visited https://logbuch-netzpolitik.de
• I pressed the big play-button on the podcast controller on this page.
• I quit Safari.

1 cookie gets deleted but 2 localstorage.sqlite3 entries for that site remains undeleted. They even cannot be deleted by pressing any delete button inside Cookies.

Is that reproducible?

@SweetP Works for me. Thanks a lot Russell.

@SweetP Unfortunately, I had problems to allow permissions in the enable browsers dialogs after I removed all sandbox permissions with 6.7.4.1 Beta. I got a spinning wheel of death (beachball). I worked around it by force quitting 6.7.4.1 Beta and did it in 6.7.4.

@SweetP Thanks a lot Russel, well done.
I installed the 6.7.4.1 Beta over 6.7.4 on Mac OS 12.6 with Safari 16.0.
I can see "localstorage.sqlite3" local storage data again, which gets removed after Safari quits.
