Title
QMM AD cache files are consuming large amounts of disk space -
Description
When using Quest Migration Manager for AD, the following directory contains large cache files:
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Migration Manager\DSA\Configs\Cache\
For example:
0D89FFD2DE9F8B49B77C3E1720956694.mdb (1.7 GB)
62F3F747F9F12F4B97549EB736CF0934.mdb (1.6 GB)The folder is consuming many GBs of disk space and seems to be growing at a noticeable rate.
Is there a way to safely delete these files?

Additional Information
A few facts about how the DSA cache works:
1. All files in Cache folder are part of the DSA cache (i.e. there is no stale files).
2. Every time a limit of 2 GB is reached, an additional file is created.
3. Deleting any of the cache files will cause a full re-sync for the objects contained in the deleted files.
