PSE auto generates many dll files in plugins folder

PSE is generating lots of .dll files in this directory: C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Temp\PlugIns Request these files to be cleaned up automatically (perhaps after each PSE user session) to conserve disk space.

    This directory contains the system-wide cache of the plugins loaded from the server and are not deleted to improve performance and because they could be used by other applications. They are only loaded from the server if a newer version is available on the server. The reason for two versions is one is for .NET 3.5 and the other is for .NET 4 applications.

    We have Windows Services running every 30 seconds to read and write to PI using AFSDK. The file OSIsoft.AF.Asset.DataReference.PIPoint.dll gets auto generated TWICE - one in a auto generated folder under PlugIns and one in the 4.0 folder under the auto generated folder, for each time the process runs. AFSDK or PSE should clean up these files they generate when they are closed down.
