Do you want to allow “yahoo” to use up to 1.2 GB of storage on your Mac?

I keep getting this message on Safari whenever I go to Yahoo:

Do you want to allow “https://www.yahoo.com” to use up to 1.2 GB of storage on your Mac?

I've been answering no. Is there a way to resolve what's going on here?

Here's a screen shot of what I'm talking about:

Is there a way to clear the storage that Yahoo is taking up? I don't know why they'd need that much space.

Safari - Preferences - Privacy - Manage Website Data ... search for Yahoo, select and press Remove

Thank you! This started happening to me recently also and your instructions fixed it!

It's a bug in Safari:

For the past few days I have been getting such a message (1.4 GB) when I access the website of The Guardian newspaper.
