cache2 folder (with Doomed and Entries sub-folders) keeps reappearing in "Local Folders"
Would you please help me permanently remove cache2 folder from Local Folders please. I'm using Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64bit) on esr channel with Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 OS.
I don't want Local Folders / Cache2 folder (or incidently Inbox, Drafts, Archives, Junk, Deleted and Outbox) but Thunderbird highlight - right click - delete button doesn't get rid of it. I can temporarily delete the Doomed and Entries sub-folders with right click - delete - delete folder but they move to Deleted folder where once again they can be deleted the same way but when restarting Thunderbird they are back under the cache2 folder again.
Even after exiting Thunderbird and directly deleting the cache2 folder(s) in system AppsData - Local and Roaming Thunderbird profiles the cache2 folder (with persistent sub-folders) returns to my Local Folders when restarted.
If ignored I eventually end up having a cache2-1 folder etc.

If you have privacy or security concerns you can set Thunderbird to clear the cache on shutdown. But I would not advise turning it off.
