Its not essential to delete cookies - they're essentially harmless in the
scheme of things; they store web site preferences, sometimes encrypted
usernames/passwords. Deleting your cache is a good idea, because it is so
dynamic.

Hi. I know someone on the web that says it's essential to
delete Temporary Internet Files and cookies as part of PC
maintenance. The person said and I quote 'Doing the
maintenance will alleviate a lot of headaches down the
road.'

Is it really essential to delete cookies? What problems
can be caused by not deleting cookies?
