Overview Description: Mac clear cache preference does not completely clean up directory. Files left over. Steps to Reproduce: 1.) with files in the cache select preferences - advanced - cache - clear disk cache. 2.) Open cache directory to look at contents Actual Results: there are still files left in cache Expected Results: these files should be deleted Build Date & Platform Bug Found: Mac 2000053008 Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: Seems to work on NT and Linux Additional Information: - after clear pressed the number of bytes in the cache is showing up smaller - bug 39672 pertains to enabling the clear button from preferences
It's possible the remaining files are currently in use by the browser, which is why they can't be deleted. We need to develop a test that can verify this.
I tried re-starting to a blank page - then clearing. Same files exist. It appears there are 4 to 5 files per every odd numbered directory.
The files that are cached could be used by the chrome, so even a blank page might be using them. We need to look at the code and see what it's trying to do, then figure out a way to verify it.
changing OS to all even though this seems to be working on NT. each of 3 platforms I check behave differently when cleared: NT: directories 00 through 1F all completely clear, cache.db left in cache root - this is what I would consider to be normal and is similar to 4.7x Mac: Directories 00 through 1F do not completely clear. Every odd #'ed directory contains 4 or 5 doc files (I cannot load these files to see what they are). Linux: Directories 00 through 1F are not being emptied at all. New files are added but never cleared. Some files are jpgs or gifs from previous session.
OS: Mac System 8.6 → All

invalidating this for now, verified mac is caching files used by chrome ... need to look into why linux and NT are different
