#' @description Manage cached `finch` files with package \pkg{hoardr}

#' @export
#' @name dwca_cache
#'
#' @details The dafault cache directory is
#' `paste0(rappdirs::user_cache_dir(), "/R/finch")`, but you can set
#' your own path using `cache_path_set()`
#'
#' `cache_delete` only accepts one file name, while
#' `cache_delete_all` doesn't accept any names, but deletes all files.
#' For deleting many specific files, use `cache_delete` in a [lapply()]
#' type call
#'
