Expired cache files are not cleared

Hi,

I have a problem, expired cache files are not cleared.

Saving cache like (this for example) version CI 4.1.1

PHP Code:

if (! $foo = cache('foo'))
{
    echo 'Saving to the cache!<br />';
    $foo = 'foobarbaz!';

    // Save into the cache for 5 minutes
    cache()->save('foo', $foo, 300);
}

echo $foo; 


Files are supposed to delete themselves, right?

Or do I have to do something manually to delete them?

Thank you

If they do not delete you can do it yourself like so.

PHP Code:

$cache = \Config\Services::cache();

// your cache item id.
$this->cache->delete('cache_item_id');

// clean the cache out.
$this->cache->clean();

// get the cache information.
var_dump($this->cache->cache_info()); 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Get the entire cache and loop one by one, so if it is expired it will return NULL and delete the file.

Code:

$allDataCache = $this->cache->getCacheInfo();
foreach ($allDataCache as $key => $value) {
   $this->cache->get($key);
}
