I need to delete the cookies (and the cache) without destroying already created TChromium components. To delete the cookies i manually delete the files inside the GlobalCEFApp.Cookies folder.

Problem is i can't do it in runtime because Windows will say the files are in use. To delete it, i need to close my app, go to the folder manually , delete the files and then open my app again.

Is there another to delete the files without closing my app ?

Thanks

• Use TChromium.ReloadIgnoreCache to reload the web page ignoring the cache.
• Create a new TChromium with a new Request Context that uses a different cache directory. Take a look at the TChildForm.FormShow procedure in the MDIBrowser demo.

You can delete the cookies with TChromium.DeleteCookies even if your app is running but as far as I know, there's no CEF3 function to clear the cache at run time.

There are some workarounds with similar effects :

• Use TChromium.ReloadIgnoreCache to reload the web page ignoring the cache.
• Create a new TChromium with a new Request Context that uses a different cache directory. Take a look at the TChildForm.FormShow procedure in the MDIBrowser demo.
