I use Edge browser (Windows 11) in Theater View to watch Apple TV+ and other streaming services without issues until today.  I opened Theater View and the Apple TV+ site presented me with a subscription offer but no way to login into my account as a current subscriber - the login link at the top right was nonfunctional.  This simulataneously arose trying to login into the service outside of Media Center/Theater View with every other browser that I'd used to watch Apple TV+.  Clearing all Edge and other browsers' (e.g., Firefox)cookies fixed the problem with the Apple TV+ subscriber login link not functioning outside of Media Center, but I can't figure out how to clear Edge browser cookies in Media Center  to fix the issue inside Theater view, because the browser options don't appear in full screen ... no address bar/ no three dots at the top right to access browser options.

Sorry for the long preamble, but quick question:  How do I clear Edge browser cookies in Media Center/ or Media Center Theater View so I can restore functionality to the Apple TV+ link I've set up in Theater View? 

POSTSCRIPT:
I figured out a way to do it.  I right-clicked the Apple TV+ page in Theater View.  This opens a list in DevTools, the bottom option of which is "Inspect".  I selected "Inspect", which opens a DevTools menu bar, selected "Application" after which I clicked the chevron beside "Cookies" from the "Storage" menu, which then shows the Apple TV+ cookie which can be manually cleared.  After that I closed everything, reopened Theater View and I could again login to the Apple TV+ website. 

I have no clue whether there's an easier or more obvious way to clear Edge cookies in Theater View, but if there isn't, I think that would be a good feature to add to MC.

I think you can also clear the EdgeUserData directory to achieve this.  For me in Windows it is located here:

C:\Users\Craig\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 33\Web

Many thanks - that's much easier!
