Description
The org.jenkinsci.plugins.github_branch_source.GitHubSCMProbe.cache directory in the Jenkins home directory of ci.jenkins.io included 13 GB of directories (over 27 000) from July 30, 2020 through Sep 16, 2020.
Liam Newman indicated that he expects those caches should be cleaned automatically.

NOTE: this fix cleans up cache folders as the connections are discarded, however cache folders that were created before the fix was introduced are ignored. Adminstrators will need to remove those manually. This choice was made to avoid potential performance issues removing large numbers of folders.
I am still seeing this problem. Running Jenkins 2.263.4 and GitHub Branch Source 2.9.5...

You'll need to be more specific. Describe what folders are being added over time.
EDIT:
I think this might be related to the code path I'm removing in https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-64911
Liam Newman I meant the `org.jenkinsci.plugins.github_branch_source.GitHubSCMProbe.cache` folder but now that I looked in more detail I see that maybe some occupied space are leftovers... I will keep monitoring and let you know
