You cannot delete cookies via ASP.Net. This is something that is browser dependent and cannot be done directly.

The best you can do is expire cookies for your website / session.

Solution 2

Refer - Clear cookies on browser close[^]

Quote:
Sessions are usualy used for this. According to Wikipedia[^], when no expiration date is set, a cookie is cleared when the user closes the browser.

The cookie setter can specify a deletion date, in which case the cookie will be removed on that date. If the cookie setter does not specify a date, the cookie is removed once the user quits his or her browser.

As other experts suggested,cookies can not be deleted directly on user's computer,but you can do something tricky e.g. setting the cookie's expiration date to a past date.

C#

if (Request.Cookies["YourCookies"] != null)
{
    Response.Cookies["YourCookiesCookies"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
    Response.Redirect("Redirect to xyz.aspx"); 
}
