Describe the bug Disk space filled up. Reason? .astropy/cache/download/ has >80Gb in.

Expected behaviour Stop the madness!

The cache is useful for reprocessing, as it speeds up the PS1 reference image downloads. Possible solution - move the cache out of the home folder, and have a cron to delete the cache monthly/weekly. Another solution - don't use cache

Strong vote for "move the cache out of the home folder".
