ASP.NET cookie does not expire

I'm trying cookies for the first time in ASP. The problem is, the cookie doesn't expire no matter how many ways I write the code.

Making a cookie:

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("test");
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

Checking if it exists:

if (Request.Cookies["test"] != null)
    Response.Write("test");
else
    Response.Write("no test");

It always shows "test".

You have destry all cookies in client side..
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.cookie.expired?view=net-6.0 use this code it works for me.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");

        for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
            var cookie = cookies[i];
            var eqPos = cookie.indexOf("=");
            var name = eqPos > -1 ? cookie.substr(0, eqPos) : cookie;
            document.cookie = name + "=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";
        }
    });
</script>

Remarks:
Expired cookies, if received, should be destroyed by the client application.

Are you doing this in the same request? In that case the old cookie is still present in the request, but will not be in subsequent requests.
