  • The problem points to this function from the package CacheStore._removeCachedFile

  • I can see from this function that, they have already check if the file exist before delete. Why this problem still occurs?

  • I am using: Flutter 3.7.5, flutter_cache_manager: ^3.3.1

I tried upgrade to the latest version of flutter_cache_manager(3.3.1), but the problem still occurs.
