if i just look in the two folders you've described, i find almost nothing there. the real stash of netscape cookies i find here:

"If you're using Communicator 4.x, Netscape bundles all cookies into one file
on your hard drive, called cookies.txt. In Windows you can usually find this file
in the \Program Files\Netscape\Users \yourname\ directory for Communicator
4 and in the \Program Files\Netscape \Navigator\ directory for Navigator 3. You
can then open the file with any text editor or word processor."

as i said, i now use norton clean sweep to 86 cookies, but prior to that, i'd follow the above clickstream. and i'd simply click on the 'cookies' folder and choose 'delete'. it always regenerates itself.
