Even though I have removed the cookies for Facebook, the Manage Cookies screen shows a HUGE storage space. FF v99.0 on Mac

from preferences page: Your stored cookies, site data, and cache are currently using 17,179,869,184 GB of disk space.

almost all are Facebook storage. I'm feeling a little reluctant to delete all site data. If I clear all cookies and site data will that fix the issue? will the issue re-occur?

Oh, Wait! I shut down Firefox after "clear cookies and Site data" then restarted Firefox. That cleared the 17 billion.

do you have any clue why it got to 17 Bil. MB?

Yes, I cleared cookies and site data by clicking the padlock next to the site address, and then clicking "clear cookies and site data" Storage still displays 17 Billion MB
