Service worker cache grows extremely large

[pwang347]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No, but it repros when working with extensions

• VS Code Version: 1.69-insider
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

I don't have a very clear repro, but I've been developing a VS Code extension and noticed that there was 500GB worth of cache under C:\Users\<my user>\AppData\Roaming\Code - Insiders\Service Worker\CacheStorage

I've cleared it last week, and now I'm seeing it grow back relatively fast:

Examining the contents, I'm seeing some bundle files used for webviews. For reference, we are using several webviews with the retainContextWhenHidden flag set to true, but I'm also not sure if the caching is just due to running local debug sessions. Would be nice to know what exactly is being cached here and how we can avoid this issue.
