A cookie is a user's property once it is sent to his computer. you cannot actually remove it manually from his/her computer as this would lead to security flaws. So the solution is using the expire property of a cookie. For example setting the cookie's expires property to a previous or older time, ensures that the browser automatically deletes/discards the cookie. For eg:

 myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
