Reset cache/cookies of containers without deleting them

[pollti]

It would be great to have an option to delete a container's data (cache/cookies/...) without recreating the container.

This also ties in to the cookie deletion modal inside the settings. As far as I can tell, deleting a cookie there deletes it in all containers. Which means I need to login into all my accounts in various containers, which is rather unfortunate.

Perhaps more concretely, I would like to wipe all (or some) cookies from the default container leftover from setting up the various containers. I.e. visited github in default before assigning it to "work". Now every time I visit some other site, GitHub can potential track me.

Related, but not for this issue, is the ability to block cookies in some containers. See #1193

The option to delete cache and cookies of a specific container is a must.

Um, when will this get fixed? It's been 18 months?

I assumed when using the "Clear Cookies and Site Data..." button that only cookies and site data from the current container would be affected. When I discovered that cookies from other containers were also deleted, it made me wonder if the multi-account containers add-on was actually segregating cookies at all. After doing some research I believe that the problem is just with clearing cookies, not with setting cookies—but I want to emphasize the potential for losing trust with users if the "Clear Cookies and Site Data" feature does not respect containers.

I'm a bit dubious using the '(dis)trust', nevertheless, I agree with the premise of the argument (feature request).
