Description

Hello, I am trying to change the cache path as it keep exceeded disk quota when downloading data. I have set the environmental variable XDG_CACHE_HOME, but when checked with astropy.config.paths.get_cache_dir() it remains the default. How do I fix this?

Expected behavior

from https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/environment_variables.html

XDG_CACHE_HOME
These environment variables control where data files are cached. Astropy will cache files in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/astropy. If not set, or if $XDG_CACHE_HOME/astropy does not exist, astropy will default to $HOME/.astropy/cache. See Downloadable Data Management (astropy.utils.data) for how to programmatically set or get the location of the corresponding directory at runtime.
