Duplicate cache (default and custom location)

Duplicate cache (default and custom location)

As my C: drive is way smaller than the 😧 drive I've changed Spotify settings to store cache under 😧 which seems to work fine.. But the problem is that it's still saving cache on C: as well... Every few months or so I have to clear data from:

C:\Users\$username\AppData\Local\Spotify\Data

because it's filling up my disk. Looking at timestamps, the data in there is new just like in the 😧 folder I set up.To me it looks like it's for some reason writing cache to both the default location AND my custom location.

 

Anyone seen something similar?

Edit: I'm now noting that what I believed was the 'all cache' option seems to say "Offline Songs Storage"... Does this mean that it will only store my offline playlists in the location specified? Is there no setting to have *all* cache stored on a custom location?
