View originalYour right! Just delete the Whitelist and reboot! Works fine for Firefox, Chrome and IE11 but does not Block on Edge or Cyberfox.@ wrote:
Yes.. all my browsers have it enabled as they all block the known bad site. White list it and they all allow it. Delete the whitelist file and they all block it again. At least that is how it is behaving on my computer, without touching the registry.
Correct! 😉@ wrote:
I think the bottom line of the original question of this thread is that we will need to be patient... It is not a good idea at all to be deleting or altering anything in the WRData folder without expert assistance. :)
As long as it has not been changed in the last 12 months, I have tested it. A few times :)@ wrote:

The white list is contained in the wrURL folder, Whitelist file. Simply deleting that file will re-block all sites that had been manually allowed in the past. The file will automatically recreate itself as a blank file as soon as WSA or the computer is restarted, so it will not cause any program errors regarding a missing file, but the data will be lost.@ wrote:
I think that's kept in the Registry if I'm not mistaken and the only way to remove the Blocked URL? And Joe told me it's quite hard to break WSA by deleting the files as most of them will be recreated.@ wrote:
I believe in doing that solution you will ALSO be losing the data of any previously manually white-listed URL's, as well as the data files for the Web Filter itself which is sometimes needed to manually install or update the Filter in Chrome or other browsers.

I wouldn't recommend to delete for non security knowledgeable type of users as WSA could be Monitoring something and you would delete it's rollback option for that monitored process again IMO for experts only.
