Summary

In streamlit==1.20.0 I am unable to clear cache of a cached functions via .clear() (this was possible in streamlit 1.19.0).

I suspect this is due to changes made in latest streamlit version to streamlit\runtime\caching\, and in particular to storage module: now, indeed, even if st.cache_data is used without any custom argument - and, then, with persist=None - streamlit try to clear also local cache, and searching for the local cache folder eventually raise the error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory / FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified

Reproducible Code Example

import streamlit as st
import time

@st.cache_data
def dummy():
    st.write('Hello from dummy function! I will wait for 5 seconds...')
    time.sleep(5)
    st.write('Done!')

left, right = st.columns(2)
with left:
    if st.button('Run dummy function'):
        dummy()
with right:
    if st.button('Clear cache'):
        dummy.clear()

Steps To Reproduce

1. pip install streamlit==1.20.0
2. Copy above snippet to app.py
3. streamlit run app.py
4. Click a first time on "Run dummy function" button (-> see cache spinner)
5. Click a second time on "Run dummy function" (-> confirm that function has been cached)
6. Click on "Clear cache" button (-> FileNotFoundError should be raised)

Expected Behavior

As in previous streamlit 1.19.0 version, cache can be cleared without searching for local cache if persist = None | False

Current Behavior

Cannot properly clear cache due to FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Users\\XXXXXXXXX\\.streamlit\\cache' (on local Windows machine) or FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.streamlit/cache' (on remote containerized execution)
