 * Hi, I have a doubt: when w3tc empy all cache automatically?
 * In the other words, when I have to empty it manually?
 * At this time, I’m using “Page Cache” and “Browser Cache”.
 * Thank’s in advance for your reply and sorry for my bad english.

 * gendif, if I understand the functioning of the Garbage collector, it should clean
   after 1h (if a visit triggers wp-cron) if you have the default setting at 3600
   sec. I am facing the same problem even if with a cron job running wp-cron. Please
   help!

 * Please Check this post about a [fixed version of w3c total cache here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-everyone-having-problems-with-versions-0925-and-0924).
 * I am using the version recommended in this post and have no problems with the
   problems you reported any more.
