When using the file cache driver, Laravel creates the cache files but never purges expired ones. This can lead to a situation where you have a large number of unused and irrelevant cache files, especially if you do a lot of short-term caching in your system.
This package creates an artisan command cache:gc that will garbage-collect your cache files, removing any that have expired. You may run this manually or include it in a schedule.
Thanks to TerrePorter for his suggestion on laravel.io!
Via Composer
$ composer require jdavidbakr/laravel-cache-garbage-collector
Then add the service provider to app/Console/Kernel.php in the $commands array:
\jdavidbakr\LaravelCacheGarbageCollector\LaravelCacheGarbageCollector::class
