Running 1.84, and the del_cache option doesn't remove the entire cache directory. The directory is left with a .BUCKET.mirror/ directory.

Not sure what that directory is for, but surely the del_cache option as documented is intended to delete the whole cache directory right?

Also I noticed that the documentation doesn't mention this, but you need to set an absolute path for use_cache='/abspath'.
