    My cache folder under wp-content has around 40.000 files and purging all caches does not really reduce this number much. That many files makes backup process really long. What can I do to remedy this? Is it safe to just delete the contents of the folder and let the plugin create only necessary files?

    Hello @emrecoltu,

    That can be normal after some time. It is safe to delete the entire directory, as the cache will be generated automatically when you visit the website. You might have problems with _old files, causing such amount of files, or you just have a huge website. When there are a lot of _old files, you might want to consider to change to a memory-based cache to prevent your host from overflooding.
