Hi Eric,

That was my "enhancement" for NB-14. The janitor module would detect abandoned cache directories.

Usually there is an <userdir parent>/netbeans-14 and <cachedir parent>/netbeans-14. When the janitor encounters a directory in <cachedir parent> which has no pair in <userdir parent> then it would think, that cache dir is abandoned and would offer it for removal.

My primary intent was to clean up the leftover cache directories when using the Snap distribution.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've a number of versions (13 and 14) of Netbeans installed/used with a
bunch of older versions since removed (i.e. 12.x and a mixture of rc for
these).  When I startup I keep getting notifications that "Netbeans xx.xx
was last used xx days ago" with a "Remove unused data and cache directories
of xxx Free up xxx MB of space."  Sounds great so clicking on this goes
away.  However, a little later, restart Netbeans and the same notifications
show up even after clicking the remove link.
