OK, that's one possible cause ruled out.

If that's / then root's files such as .cache would end up there.

The beowulf systems may have inherited by being upgraded from ascii and my debian10 was upgraded from debian9, so "/.cache" may be a relict too. My Cubies started their existence as debian9 and were "transgraded" to ascii and later upgraded to beowulf. Maybe the devuan-PIs simpy don't have it because X11 never was installed? I think my raspbian10-PIs haven't seen X11 too. The devuan1-systems run XFCE like most other systems and don't have "it".

Currently I don't see a pattern...

Oh! I checked two asciis, one jessie and a beowulf. I don't have one, and I don't recall ever seeing that.

My /root/.cache has subdirectories named after the apps I've run as root.

I tried to create a file with the name ".cache" as a result, this does not affect the operation of the my system.

In my previous version Debian this folder was not available. I think this is due to the pulse. I did not installing the pulse, but the folder is created in ~ /.config/pulse

Hi Danista,

Well even if you delete it (with rm -rf), programs that require cache to run will create a new .cache folder so it is pointless to remove it. be careful now with that command, you don't want to brick your system. :-)

/.cache/fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory

But it probably has nothing to do.
I checked the settings fontconfig

<!-- Font cache directory list -->
                
        <cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
        <cachedir prefix="xdg">fontconfig</cachedir>
        <!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
        <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir>
