Problems with site cache in Dreamweaver CC 2017

Just upgraded and have an issue with the site cache. I routinely go in and recreate the site cache when making a large number of edits to a site. But for example, I have a number of real estate sites. I can recreate the site cache, then go in and remove a particular listing in acreage, homes, live water and save these files. Now all that's left is the listing itself. If I go in to delete that, it warns me that this file is referenced in "acreage, homes, live water". Then I go back in, Site-Advanced-Recreate Site Cache, attempt to delete the listing, and this time it correctly asks me if I want to delete it without any other warnings.

Or, if I save a bunch of images into a working folder, add them to a variety of files, and then move the images to their final location, not all of the dependent files get updated unless I manually recreate the cache prior. This is not helpful.

I've deleted the WinFileCache-XXXXXXXX.dat but no good. It seems every time I want to delete a file that used to be referenced or move a file to a different location, unless I recreate the site cache each time before I do this, all the necessary files don't get updated and I have dead links.

I've tried disabling the site cache and it does ask me if I want to scan the site when I make a change but not sure yet if this holds effect throughout a long editing session. I'm concerned after spending an hour updating hundreds of photos and a dozen pages that if I forget, when I move my files not all of the dependents will update and I'll be left with hours of work cleaning up the resultant dead links.

Resolved!! Windows 10

when you have an image that doesn’t refresh after an edition..

Only rename or delete the cache folder at

Users-UserName-AppData-Roaming-Adobe-Dreamweaver CC 2018-en_US(or the language configured folder)-Configuration-Cef

at this route only rename the folder cache or delete it.

I have the same problem. DW has always been good, but this is a step backward. Hope you find a resolution to post.

Sent you a PM ... no reply yet. I created a shortcut key CTRL-SHIFT-Q to force it to recreate the cache but the other day, I forgot to do this before copying a few dozen images to their final destination folder and no links updated. So I had to go find the images, copy them back to where they were, recreate the site cache, copy them back to their final destination and Yes to the Dreamweaver prompt to update the dependent files. This doesn't aid my workflow.
