Ignored cleaning cache folder

[koentjeh]

Hi,

Is there a reason to skip the cache folder while removing missing images?

// Cached path guard
if ($this->isInCachePath($file)) {
  continue;
}

Thanks to this module we've managed to reduce the size of the media folder from 160GB to 149GB. It's a good start but I believe the missing images will still occur in the cache folder after a catalog:image:resize.

We used a bash script to remove the images from the cache folder without noticeable result on the storefront. (lost the result of the reduced size).

#!/bin/bash

echo "Start!"
while read image; do
  echo "found $image in .txt"
  for file in $(find pub/media/catalog/product/cache/ -path "*$image");
    do
      rm $file;
      echo "removed ${file} from filesystem";
    done;
done <removed_images.txt
echo "Done!"

Would love to hear a response if you would consider implementing this feature or not.
