[AWIPS #FVY-944092]: caveData/cache/wxdata files building up

Hi Pete,

For those files, you can modify the 
/awips2/edex/conf/resources/purge.properties file on your EDEX. The last couple 
lines:

# Number of days of logs beyond current day to keep uncompressed   
purge.log.uncompressed.days=2

# Number of days of logs beyond current day to keep compressed
purge.log.compressed.days=256

where purge.log.uncompressed.days is how long to keep the log files before 
compressing them into a zipped file 
and purge.log.compressed.days is how long to keep the zipped files before 
purging.


Thanks,
