After Effects Cache Issue

Question

I am using a Mac Studio M2 computer with OS 14.7.7 (Sonoma). In my After Effects 25.4.7 settings/preferences, I have the maximum disk cache size set to 100 GB. However, if I don't frequently check my cache folder, it grows well beyond the 100 GB limit I have set. A few minutes ago, I cleared out 200 GB from my cache folder. I clear the folder through the proper steps - Preferences - Media & Disk Cache - Disk Cache - Empty Disk Cache. I'm looking for a way for After Effects to not exceed 100 GB of cached files. The proper procedure doesn't seem to be working correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!
