On Mac OS X, how to minimize cache files produced by appium at \private\var\folders\

Issues/Bugs

Appium 1.7.1

This folder is huge (50gb) and is cluttered by files produced by appium when running iOS on device.

This folder gets cleared on machine restart, but I want to clean this folder up before executing the hundreds of regression tests without restarting.

I am wondering if there’s a configuration in appium that we can use to adjust the number of cache files produced while running tests?

I tried to develop scripts to remove these cache files but I realized that this can cause system instability.

I also looked into maintenance scripts provided by mac os x.

So perhaps this is it?
sudo periodic daily

public interface MobileCapabilityType ....

     * the end of a session (see iOS and Android entries for particulars).
     */
    String CLEAR_SYSTEM_FILES = "clearSystemFiles";
