Description
I've noticed some problems due to my windows roaming profile size recently.
It's not only QGIS 3 fault but I would avoid as much as possible to store too much data there.

I agree that this a big problem for Windows users with roaming profiles (such as most gov organizations, companies, etc.)
Storing many MB of cache content in the roaming profile slows logging into Windows a lot and ultimately such users will get complaints from their IT department.

On my side, I usually set a low cache size value in the settings to avoid this but that's true that cache should be in the local profile only.

Please check if this issue is still valid on QGIS 3.4.5 or 3.6.

Seems to be fine.
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\cache
10000 is 10000 Mo?
