I cannot seem to permanently clear some cookies

Reported by ddum...@us.ibm.com, Apr 25 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.22 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Request a page and have too many cookies.
2. Clear some of those cookies using chrome.
3. Request previous page.
4. Close chrome (menu -> exit) and copy cookie jar to desktop, and open it.
5. find all your deleted cookies.
6. After opening chrome again I frequently see all the tings I deleted back in the chrome cookie browser.

What is the expected behavior?
After step 2, and especially step 4, I would expect all of the cookies I've deleted to not be around on my computer anymore.

What went wrong?
Chrome seems to not be deleting cookies I've told it to.  When requesting the page, I made sure to not visit a page that would be putting them back into the jar.  For instance, the site I'm using is not related to any of the PD- cookies.  It just happens to be on the same TLD.

Did this work before? Yes Not entirely sure... but I've started seeing HEAD FULL errors recently due to the buildup over time of cookies I cannot remove.

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.22  Channel: beta
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Thanks for reproducing this issue and sorry for the trouble.
I tried to repro this on some of the popular websites but could not.
Is there a way we can reproduce this reliably? Short of that, it may be hard for us to figure out what's going on.

Could you please try one or more of the following:
1. Try logging into the site you're having trouble with in Incognito mode and see if the problem happens there also.
2. Try using Chrome with a different --profile-directory to see if the problem happens with that too.

Marking as WontFix for lack of reproducibility. Please feel free to re-open with a more reliable PoC.

I can reproduce this in the network here at will.   I've tried to clear my cookies many times and frequently get FULL HEAD from our nexus server (which is more picky than others about that)

The problem does not happen in incognito.
I will try with a new profile...  how do I re-open?   Make a new one?
