Comment (by eighthave):
I think the bigger question is sorting out the true "cache" files that can
be deleted at will, and the "data" files that need to be kept around.
XDG's definition is a little looser, but not much: "There is a single base
directory relative to which user-specific non-essential (cached) data
should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable
$XDG_CACHE_HOME."https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-
spec-latest.html
To me, "non-essential" means things will run regardless of the presence of
those files. So XDG's definition of "cache" is pretty much the same as
Android's.
