 * Hello [@irinashl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irinashl/)
 * Thank you for reaching out.
    For every cache module, GC is short for Garbage 
   collection, meaning when the cache is expired, the Garbage collection interval
   will cleanup and delete the expired cache.
 * I hope this helps!
 * Thanks!
