Has anyone else seen an issue with safari and clearing browsing / cached data? I clear mine out almost daily just because and I noticed going to the Safari - Advanced - Website Data I still see 4-5 sites listed all with either 68.0k or 0.0k. Clicking on Remove All website Data and navigating back to the listing always shows the same sites.

I reported this to Apple.
Hello there. I hope Apple fixes this bug. It is so very annoying. I don't see too many people here are seeing this or noticed yet. I'm on public version 10.3.1 and started seeing 0bytes of website data that never goes away after hitting clear all. I have no reading list. When I clean restored my iPhone setting it up as new, it finally removed it realizing it was a waste of time and effort. Next thing I noticed was there was a new, another website data that's 0byte that won't go away. What I finally attempted to do is to patiently going back to delete it and it took 12 attempts to make it go away. First one was Starbucks.com and second was toysrus.com. I don't know if its website specific or safari bug.

Forgot to mention, but it gets backed up to iCloud backup also, so restoring from backup will just bring it back to your phone.

The only theory I can come up with is that the 'uncleanable' data is actually the thumbnails in your favourites (the page that opens when you open a new tab). Do you have either site in your favourites?

I tried cleaning out my history in Safari in the settings then going to safari and clearing out all of my reading lists (read and unread) and I still show a number of sites with 0kb. I can link a couple of the sites with a reddit app (bacon reader) as I remember visiting the sites through the app. I believe all of the links are either through sites I have opened through apps or the apps themselves. For example I have the Experian app and I also have a corresponding ExperianDirect.com entry. I tried cleaning the cache within Bacon Reader along with all the other things I've done listed above to no avail. It is an issue which I wish Apple would address...

I've submitted several bug reports since my first post regarding this so about a month+ ago.

Nope I don't.

It is just too much when I have to repeat 12 times to clear website data. It has forced me to always use safari private mode.

I'm using private mode only now.
