Deletion doesnt work from middleware, 
 const res = NextResponse.redirect(req.nextUrl);
          res.cookies?.delete('session');
          return res;

const res = NextResponse.redirect(req.nextUrl);
res.cookies?.set({ name:"jwt.refresh", maxAge: 0 });
return res;


but you have to check if the jwt.refresh cookie exists else it will loop infinitely.
Complete Solution:


const refreshCookie = cookies().get("jwt.refresh")?.value;
if (refreshCookie && tokenExpired) {
    const res = NextResponse.redirect(req.nextUrl);
    res.cookies?.set({ ...jwtRefreshCookie, maxAge: 0 });
    return res;
}
