Hi there, I do think that `.local/share` is the system cache directory. This is a bit of an issue because we have limited space on our login node to 25 GB and `~/cache/wandb/artifacts/staging` will often go over my memory capacity. Within this dir there are many files like `tmp4xngbfu5 `, which I assume is some temporary file for uploading artifacts to wandb server. This does seem to be distinct from `WANDB_CACHE_DIR` because I have started manually setting this to a different directory within my python scripts. For now I just delete this dir when it gets too large but this is not a sustainable solution.
