Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When clearing cookies, the CAD does not delete the directories.

Using Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3 in this example, the directory /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/FOO.default-release/storage/default contains a zillion directories from site that have been purged.

Some also contain additional subdirectories which contain significant tracking info. They are called "/cache/morgue/foo".... there is very little info on the web as to what these are. (other than a self-described file descriptor of ".final: snappy framed data"

It would be good CAD can be modded to delete these remnants. (I do understand that the plugin simply calls available libs/APIs and this may not be achievable)

In this screenshot, which shows only a tiiiiny percentage of the folders, the following URLs have been purged by CAD....

AskUbuntu, CloudFlare, dwcdn, microsoft (!!!), ebay, docker, pi-hole, electrek, the "wikis", finviz (???), mediadelivery...

There are 178 directories, but I have only 10 rules.

Describe the solution that you'd like

Delete old, redundant and unused directories.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Writing a shell script that could be called post-CAD.

If CAD could easily expose a simple list of rules URLs (so I dont need to monch on parsing XML, etc) then the shell could be run, obliterating these garbage files.
