Description
It is possible that we as end users can select the folder we want to have the WMS download images to? We already have that ability with TMS images. It would be greatly appreciated since I want to be able to delete all the stored images at one single time when the folders get too big since the "Flush Tile Cache" doesn't seem to work anymore (see #6109).

You can change the WMS cache folder by setting the advanced preference value for imagery.wms-cache.path.
Maybe a GUI textbox would be nice.

From #9707 (WMS cache should not be stored in AppData/Roaming on Windows machine):
If machine is part of Windows domain then folder AppData/Roaming is stored on file server and copied every time user log on. Storing big amount of data causes login delay, unnecessary LAN use, etc. /Roaming is for application setting. Big, temporary data should be stored in AppData/Local. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaming_user_profile#Third-party_companies_don.27t_use_it_correctly

Right, looks like http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/mmpc/shared/variables.aspx is wrong and this variable has only been added with Windows Vista.

According to JOSM logs, Windows XP is more popular than iOS. Outside of OSM it is also more popular than Linux, of course. Nevertheless, there is nothing we can / should do here.

In josm-latest there is only 2 files for WMS cache, in the same folder as for TMS.
For TMS you have files:
TMS.data
TMS.key
And for WMS you have files:
WMS.data
WMS.key
Flush Tile Cache is also working right now, so I close the ticket.

There is also a bug report on Debian bug tracker complaining about not using system defaults at least for imageries.
