I’m A Super: What if there was a type of cookie that could:

• Stay on your computer for an unlimited amount of time
• Store 100 kb of data by default, with an unlimited max
• Couldn’t be deleted by your browser
• Send previous visit information and history, by default, without your permission

Count me in the set of people who were previously unaware that such cookies existed.  As to deletion, I prefer a more direct approach:

rm -rf     ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/*/*
chmod 0500 ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/*
rm -rf     ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/*
chmod 0500 ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
