    I’m trying to back up a site to move it between servers but there are literally hundreds of thousands of db_cache files in the directory system/expressionengine/cache/db_cache_31/site+index/<string of numbers+digits>

    I’ve attempted to clear all cache in EE admin but it didn’t delete these files. Because there are so many, backups take hours just for the tar alone. Are they safe to delete? Which folders in the /cache/ directory ARENT safe to delete?

    It’s perfectly safe to delete any and all cache files. They will be recreated as needed.
