The pages you do visit might include files and images
which come with their own Cookies.

Perhaps. Are you using its login by Live ID feature?

In the same way that Daniel was imagining the TIF being open by other
apps, the Cookie folder might be locked by another app.
You could use Process Explorer to check. (E.g. use its Find command
to check for Cookies.) Wow. I didn't think that many apps would have
handles open to it. I guess you should try closing as many apps as possible
before you try clearing Cookies too. Who knew? ; )
BTW explorer.exe is one of the apps which shows up in that list.
Presumably it at least could be left running when you use the
Internet Options tool but if not you could use Task Manager
to kill it too if necessary. To avoid having iexplore.exe running
at the same time too you could Run... (or use File, New task in TM)
control inetcpl.cpl
Good luck
