how do i make sure Spotify never caches?

[firelighter487]

so i have a bit of a problem. i have a 2015 MBP, with a 120gb ssd, partitioned as 80gb for macOS and 40gb for Windows. all my apps fit, the problem is spotify's cache folder goes as big as 10gb, which will be a problem. how can i make sure Spotify doesn't cache?

i don't even mind writing a script that deletes that folder every time i boot the computer, i just don't want it taking up space.
