Here's how to delete Chrome's cookies selectively by domain or subdomain:

  • go to chrome://settings/cookies
  • select tab Details
  • type the domain name in the search box
  • click delete

This can't however select cookies by web folders, e.g. www.domain.com/folder1.

Wrench -> Preferences -> Under the Hood -> 
Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance

Disable it - thus dumping the whole application cache - reload the affected page - and then re-enable. If this happens often or doesn't clear the issue, some cache upstream from chrome is the problem and you should probably leave chrome's disabled.

Selective invalidation of an application layer cache (which is done strictly for application speed) since chrome has "no business" taking over for the system is might be an answer to some issue, but it isn't a very good answer.

(Lest you get huffy about my "no business" statement, I use pre-fetching myself as I like the zippiness, proper or not)

Despite your parenthetical objections and the correctness of your solution, I'm huffy anyway. – Blomkvist May 4 '11 at 12:39
