Do I need to manually clean the /storage/framework/cache/data folder?

Question

Laravel

I am running a project on Laravel, where a lot of data is cached. But the data is cached for no more than three hours. There is no data that would be cached forever. But for some reason the /storage/framework/cache/data folder weighs more than 9Gb.
Do I need to clean this folder manually or does Laravel clean it up itself? Or why such a large folder size?

Answer 1

Judging by the source data, Laravel does not clean anything itself. Cache files are explicitly deleted during flush, forget operations and an attempt to get a rotten key, so you need to clean it yourself. Or put a call to Cache::flush in Schedule.
