[QUOTE="mac57, post: 596780, member: 17052"] To REALLY clean up Safari you can delete all the cookies and the history by deleting the files Safari stores them in. For Tiger and Leopard, the Safari cookies are at ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist. You can just delete this and you are done with the cookies. For Tiger, Safari's history is at ~/Library/Safari/History.plist. Delete this file and the history is gone. For Leopard, Safari's history is at ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db. Delete this file and the history is gone. The easiest way to do the above is to create an Automator action or Terminal.app script that does it for you and then just run the action/script manually once a day or so. [/QUOTE]
