If you need to delete a cookie, one way of doing so is to navigate to the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard drive and delete the file. An easier method though is to use the Delete Browsing History option within your Internet Explorer window. The nice thing about the Delete Browsing History window in IE 7 is that you can delete your entire browsing history, such as passwords and temporary Internet files, from a single location.
To delete cookies in Internet Explorer 7, use the following steps:
- Open your Web browser.
- From the Tools menu, click Delete Browsing History.
- Click the Delete Cookies button.
- Click OK.

Great, but what if I only want to delete cookies from a single domain - and not all of my cookies for all sites ever visited in IE 7?
I don’t think it has the capability, but I know Firefox does.

I just read a comment that described in details how cookies cannot be deleted from IE 7. I am deleting IE 7 permanently. I will find that comment and keep it to send to others. I don’t like big brother tracking me on the Internet or anywhere else for that matter. I am going to pass this information on, to everyone I meet, and I will recommend the Firefox browser. www.firefox.com The Firefox browser is virtually free of viruses,
If anyone wants to write to me, I will provide them with the information they may want. My e-mail address is as follows: karridog@gmail.com

Go to Internet Options, Click on Settings under Browser History, Click on View Files. You can delete one by one there or view them.

Brian,
You are correct about how to delete only the cookies that you want to delete.
But to make it easier, once you have navigated to your cookes
in IE7, you can choose, View/Current View / Sort by and choose “Type”, now all of your cookies are listed together in the list, and it is much easier to sort through them.
