Sep 20, 2016 8:53 PM in response to e483.101by TeenTitan,Honestly I clear out cache files on a regular basis. Most of them are stale dated anyway. Plus their probable for an old version of the app.
What do you see as the benefit of keeping the old cache files? Are you trying to 'prep' the cache server in advance? Or do you have a extremely slow internet connection?

Sep 20, 2016 9:04 PM in response to TeenTitanby e483.101,Okay, I had assumed the cached app data in particular would be automatically limited to the most recent version for any given app, i.e., older versions would be automatically purged. I understand you as saying that is not the case, so I'd concur that clearing out periodically would make sense.

Sep 21, 2016 2:40 AM in response to e483.101by Leopardus,Your assumption is correct. It is incorrect to say that the cache just keep dated versions. What actually happens is Server will check as soon as a request on the network is received whether itself, peers, higher level cache's, or Apple have a newer version. If the reply from all is negative, it will serve the version in the cache. If all in negative, but Apple's is positive, it will replace the cached version with the newer version. If one of the other is also positive, it will handoff to the updated cache and purge the older version.
