Data Cache: .next/cache/fetch-cache is not being cleared at all

[NloonF]

Summary

That may be a dumb question, but are files in .next/cache/fetch-cache being removed? I've been testing for a few days now, but seems there's no mechanism for deleting them?

I'm using a custom CMS for my project, next.revalidate and next.tags in every request together with revalidateTags() and revalidatePath() functions. When something is changed in the response, for example "set-cookie" header, nextjs creates a new cache file for this fetch, and that's good. What's not good is that the old one, with old "set-cookie" is NOT deleted from .next/cache/fetch-cache.

Question: is there indeed no possibility to remove invalidated files from the fetch-cache besides manually deleting them by hand/custom script?
