I'm not sure what cache you're speaking of. Can you describe the issue you're experiencing

Hi, lramos15

Sorry for late.

for windows environment:
// %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\vscode-???Extension
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\vscode-cpptools
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Code\Cache
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Code\CacheData

I can see cache data more and more after open project source code,
therefor, I just send feature request about this.

Thank you very much.
