    It used to, but ever since 0.18 it just deletes all cache files. I personally think that's a welcome change, as it takes less time and takes up less space. What was I supposed to do with backed up cache files?

    Only unknown files found in random places. Although it seems to not do that currently, we are checking already.

    I was used to the old way to do it, I guess it's my fault
