--- Comment #3 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at igalia.com> ---
This patch looks good. It certainly solves the problem going forward.

As a bonus, I think we should also check if the original directory $XDG_CACHE_HOME/app-name contains a soup cache, and if so delete the entire directory so that we automatically clean up the original cache rather than leaving it on disk forever. Simply because it's easy to do, and we had users complaining about rather spectacular cache leaks there (60 GB at [1], 12 GB at [2]). This should not be a problem because an application that stores anything under $XDG_CACHE_HOME should be prepared for it to disappear.
