Ok, this could be an alternative. I do have 4 GB memory but I am not quite sure how much space all the cache files will need. Right now I am trying to reduce the amount of data that is cached, so this step might be worth a try later on. > b) When you need to delete all cache simply rename the old directory and > re-create the original one and then delete the new-renamed direcotory.
