• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Cookie cannot be deleted

I have a few cookies, one from NHL.com, another some type of ad.yadayada.com cookie, that Usage Tracks will not delete nor can I delete them manually. When I display their Properties, instead of the name of the cookie, some alpha/numeric characters.txt (e.g. KEE7AHSF.txt) is shown as the Cache Name that a Search cannot locate on the entire C: drive.

Any ideas how these cookies can be deleted in Windows XP SP3?
 
Will CCleaner be able to delete files that cannot be manually deleted?
IE Privacy Keeper was unable to delete them.
The cookies that I can manually delete have the same Cache Name as their File Name, which is my guess as to why they will not delete.
