clearCache

Removes all files in a cache file directory

Removes all files in a cache file directory.

## Default S3 method:
clearCache(path=getCachePath(...), ..., recursive=FALSE, prompt=TRUE && interactive())

`path`	A `character` string specifying the directory to be cleared. By default, the path is what is returned by `getCachePath`() which arguments `...` are also passed.
`...`	Arguments passed to `getCachePath`(), especially argument `dirs` to specify subdirectories.
`recursive`	If `TRUE`, subdirectories are also removed, otherwise just the files in the specified directory.
`prompt`	If `TRUE`, the user will be prompted to confirm that the directory will cleared before files are removed.

If the specified directory does not exists, an exception is thrown.

Returns (invisibly) a character vector of pathnames of the files removed. If no files were removed, NULL is returned.
