Wow.
No offense, but this sounds like a case of "All I have is a hammer, and
everything looks like a nail".

In a page taken from the ADODB manual: (
http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/docs-adodb.htm#cacheflush)

If you want to flush all cached recordsets manually, execute the following
> PHP code (works only under Unix):
>   system("rm -f `find ".$ADODB_CACHE_DIR." -name adodb_*.cache`");
>
> For general cleanup of all expired files, you should use crontab on Unix,
> or at.exe on Windows, and a shell script similar to the following:
> #------------------------------------------------------
> # This particular example deletes files in the TMPPATH
> # directory with the string ".cache" in their name that
> # are more than 7 days old.
> #------------------------------------------------------
> AGED=7
> find ${TMPPATH} -mtime +$AGED | grep "\.cache" | xargs rm -f
>

I use a slightly different line in my crontab:
@daily find /path/to/tmp/files -mtime +1 -exec rm -rf {} \;
