 * Greetings! The website I manage runs on the Attire theme and uses this plugin(
   quite nicely). Today, two years after creating the site, I found that the site
   would not load because the maximum number of files allowed on the server had 
   been reached. It turned out there were more than 180,000 cache files (of 86 bytes
   each) in the /wp-content/plugins/attire-blocks/cache folder. Every few minutes,
   a new one is created (12 files in the 20 minutes since the others were deleted).
   Is there a way to limit the number of files that are created in this folder and
   automatically delete the older ones?
