How prevent specific folder/file from deletion

I want to delete everything but a folder and its files, I couldn't find a way of doing this and I found nothing that could help me.

That's what I have now:

function cleanServer(){
    return gulp.src(['!../root/dev/render/cache/*.cache', '../root/dev/'], {read: false, force: true, allowEmpty: true})
    .pipe(clean({force: true}))
        .on('error', errFn)
}

Node: 5.3.0
NPM: v8.4.0
Gulp CLI version 1.3.0
Gulp Local version 4.0.0

How could I delete everything but the cache folder and its files?
