Super Dave 26 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ahhh... super cookies, flash cookies, local stored object cookies! Cookies cookies and more cookies. Why can't we just delete the cookie jar? http://imgur.com/36N9c.jpg I confirmed delete of cookies through Macromedia's Support/Settings site. Testing with that site comes with a catch tho, it's data is stored in a folder outside of the objects folder. This means once you clear cookies with the function above all the sites will still be listed but the "used" calculations will now show "-". To manually delete the settings references run [cmd.exe /c rmdir /s /q "%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\"] 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
webautomationlab 21 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 What is that first shell command? I can't make it out clearly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Super Dave 26 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 cmd.exe /c - CMD.EXE is window's dos prompt. The /c switch will append the following command in the same process rmdir /s /q - This is Windows "Delete Directory" command. /s switch is used to delete all sub directories and files while the /q sets the process to quiet mode with no output back to the screen. "%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\"- %APPDATA% is the system folder for applications, on my machine this points to "C:\Documents and Settings\Customer\Application Data" you can see where yours points by typing %APPDATA% as a run command. The rest of the path points specifically to the folder that hold cookie info. As an example, this is from my google session just now:C:\Documents and Settings\Customer\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\LJGK2QUB\mail.google.com\wakeup.sol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 rmdir I believe...remove directory. I had to look hard at that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
webautomationlab 21 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yeah, that is what I couldn't make out. Cheers Dave. Great post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntmedia 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just as a Ref for people using Windows 7:If you ever need to refer to the Application Data directory, just type %appdata% in the Run dialog box, the Start menu search box, or at the command prompt. Also, if you are looking to use it in a batch file or a script, you definitely want to make use of the environment variable.-- Great way to just check what's being saved and stored by apps for deleting/automating things.Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
furious george 0 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Really awesome post. This save my behind on a few projects. Why wouldn't this be included in ubot? Just a thought. FG Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FG Not sure why it's not included, but you can also shell out to CCleaner to clear all the cookies. Just do shell then path to CCleaner.exe /AUTO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
