Do we support CacheMaxDays to CacheMaxMinutes?

Regarding cache lifetime of a file:
 
CacheMaxDays Gets or sets the maximum number of days to store cached documents. The default value is 90 days.
For example if you set:
 
DocumentUltimateWebConfiguration.Current.CacheMaxDays = -1;
 
Then cached files would immediately expire. However this is not automatic (not a background task), the deletion only occurs when a new cache request comes (e.g. when you view a new document) and if 20 minutes interval has passed. So cache trimming is triggered every 20 minutes. For example if nobody uses your viewer for a week, the cached files will not be touched. 
 
So if your viewed documents are short-lived you can use this setting to prevent keeping them cached.

Thanks for reply.

Maybe I was wrong with this behavior when we set CacheMaxDays to -1, the cache file didn't delete immediately until next day.

If any confusion, please let me know.
