Will the fetch-cache ever get removed from the file system?

[safaldas-neoito]

I have a an Nextjs 14 app where a dynamic route that does api call to a CMS. The fetch cache in the Azure app service filled the server. 250GB of server space was filled with it. I tried manually rm -rf fetch-cache and it takes days to even remove a few GBs.


I see that in Next 15 there is a new cacheLife api which has expire property.
The thing I want to know is - Will cacheLife clear out the file after expiry?
Please let me know any other alternative if exists. if u are wondering the scale of the project. its 1.8million page because of combination of cities in the world
