   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   We are running some tests that involve creating and deleting lots of instances using the API. Our virtual router ran out of inodes and had over 100,000 files in the /var/cache/cloud/processed directory. I can't find any code in CloudStack that cleans up that directory, but if there is then there should also be an option to cleanup more frequently.
   
   ##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   <!--
   For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
   
   For new features, show how the feature would be used.
   -->
   
   <!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
   
   Create/delete thousands of VMs.
   
   <!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->
   
   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   
   I'd expect the virtual router to clean up after itself.
   
   ##### ACTUAL RESULTS
   <!-- What actually happened? -->
   
   The virtual router eventually runs out of inodes.
