What is /opt/netbox/.cache directory?

What is /opt/netbox/.cache directory? I don't see that in 4.4.x installs.

markku@netbox-lab:/opt/netbox$ du -h .cache
45M     .cache
markku@netbox-lab:/opt/netbox$ git status
HEAD detached at v4.6.2

One of the smallest files there:

markku@netbox-lab:/opt/netbox/.cache$ cat 8878968260282104842
{
  "data": {
    "meta": {},
    "content": "<h1 id=\"console-port-templates\">Console Port Templates</h1>\n<p>A template for a console port that will be created on all instantiations of the parent device type. See the <a href=\".././consoleport/\">console port</a> documentation for more detail.</p>",
    "search": [
      {
        "location": null,
        "level": 1,
        "title": "Console Port Templates",
        "text": "<p>A template for a console port that will be created on all instantiations of the parent device type. See the console port documentation for more detail.</p>",
        "path": [],
        "tags": []
      }
    ],
    "title": "Console Port Templates",
    "toc": [
      {
        "title": "Console Port Templates",
        "content": "Console Port Templates",
        "id": "console-port-templates",
        "url": "#console-port-templates",
        "children": [],
        "level": 1
      }
    ]
  },
  "hash": 9926751964194689556
}

Should upgrade.sh clean these files up?

I believe these are from Zensical building the documentation.

Looks like that, yes:
