Navigating to npm cache directory, Users/UserName/%AppData%/Roaming/npm-cache in windows for example, I see so many folders. What are they for? When were they created and how can I remove them by npm cli? (I know the _cacache folder is for local cache of npm, so what stuff do other folders serve?)
In npm-cache directory, what are the folders other than _cacache for?

npm-cache is part of the cli
npm stores cache data in an opaque directory within the configured cache, named _cacache
You would need to delete any npm cache manually (packages etc)
npm cache clean [<path>]
npm will not remove data by itself: the cache will grow as new packages are installed.
