 * Hi guys,
 * I am struggling with entering my wp-admin when the cache is full. If I spot it
   on time I can clear it and everything is good but sometimes I can’t access it
   at all so I have to rename the plugin folder via ftp to “deactivate” it.
 * Is there anything I can do about it? Might that be caused by a setting I am using?
   I basically “only” have one static page with a form so I am not really sure what
   is even causing the cache to build up.
 * Cheers Nick

 * Hi Marko!
 * the garbage collection interval is 3600 (I think that is what was set by default).
