 * Hi, first of all, a great plug in – thanks!
 * Question: what is the difference between “clear cache” and “delete cache”? I 
   need to clear my cache but it is not obvious to me how this is done…
 * ciao

 * There’s no difference. The function wp_cache_clear_cache() will completely clear
   out the cache directory.
