DBCACHE Files - should we expect any clean up?

I just took a look at the ..\Local Settings\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 3\ folder to ensure preservation of my EngineOptions.xml file and noticed a growing number of DBCACHE files, around 1meg apiece, some dating back to Dec 9th.

My hex editor shows no decipherable content as to, for example, Server & DB name, so I cannot tell whether any file is for a now non-existent instance or database. I'd like to be able to clean up files that are, in effect, permanent orphans.

Cache management shows 9 sets of cached information dating back to Dec 22nd. I have 20 DBCACHE Files...

Would you care to add some configuration (retention period) to the Cache Management pane, perhaps for each Server or Server-Database, and somehow show a way to whack "orphans", please?

    Hi Stephen,


    For the final release the cache clean-up will be improved so that you don't get loads of potentially out-of-date files lying around.


    Thanks,
    Bart

    Great. Thanks Bart. Wouldn't like the product to contribute to gobbling disk space like some (MS) products do :wink:

    Actually I'm extremely tempted to blame this on MS since it's their dodgy time-limited shutdown hook that causes all the problems in the first place. :)
