Describe the bug
wezterm caching images too often when scrolling through image's previews in yazi (sxyazi/yazi). Yazi has a cache directory in C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Temp\yazi but when i scroll through images, it also get cached into C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\wezterm\wezterm-blob-lease-itAw1SkV , the problem is ... it caches everytime i go to an image, even images it has cached before. And it also creates another file that has 3.6 MB as it does so, (the name format is "sha256-*"). So the folder's size grows really fast, at one point taking up 15 GB , before i delete it.

Anything else?
on linux , i think the cache directory is ~/.cache/wezterm/wezterm-blob-lease-*/
it's not just yazi, wezterm also cache files the same way with imgcat too (in the wezterm-blob-lease-* folder ) and it doesn't delete itselft after a restart. i've also filed the same issue in yazi, and the author says yazi doesn't instruct wezterm to make those caches, so it's probably on wezterm's end.
