    What do I do if I have deleted website data, but when I go on advanced, the websites are still there?

    How do I clear website data if the icons are not blue/working and swiping left doesn't work?
    Community Answer
    Open up the Settings app, then scroll down to Safari, scroll all the way down to Advanced, select the Website Data Selection and remove them individually (or you can use the All button at the bottom). If the website selection is permanent, consider changing your proxy settings and obtaining a new dynamic IP address (see wikiHow to Change the IP Address on a Mac for instructions).
