Transcode cache not always cleaned up

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. I have ~20 nodes all using a ZFS mirrored 1TB SSDs NFS share for a temp transcode cache, I notice every few weeks or months it inevitably fills up (till I catch it at 80%) with files that have not been touched in weeks. Picture attached shows a handful of those small null files but the bulk of the space is taken by videos at various levels of processing.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: I'm just running tdarr and nodes in a docker compose (except my windows node)

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. I'd expect the temp files to be purged after the entire plugin stack is finished for said file

-Worker error [can be found on the 'Tdarr' tab by pressing the 'i' button on a failed item in the staged file section or in the transcode error section at the bottom] I had just cleared out the staging queue.. Is there anywhere else I could find this info?

Those files all have null as the container so are they from when you didn't have the plugin configs quite right? If you clear those out manually do you still encounter the issue on new files?

I still have it to this day, haven't changed anything in awhile I was letting it settle to see if it would go away.

I have this exact same issue. This is over three days:

Can confirm that I also see extra files left behind occasionally. It usually cleans up, but sometimes will leave a file behind. I haven't found a specific cause yet though.

For me this happens for most files. I set my shared memory as the transcode location, so this becomes problematic in under 1 hour of transcoding files, sometimes within minutes. This happens even if I only allow for 1 transcode and 0 for everything else.

2.00.20 has several new things to address this:

- Added improved cache cleaner service
- Added cache file browser to Staging section for manually deleting cache files if needed

Cache cleaner service will run hourly and clean up any dangling cache files not in use. Then there's a UI in the staging section to force delete cache files if needed.
