Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

To enhance the "Purge Item Cache" button to indicate how much disk space is being used on the server

Why would this be helpful?

The item cache in /metadata/cache/items is used to store backups of re-encodes of the books. It would be helpful to know how much disk space is being used. The command for this is du -h -d0 /metadata/cache/items.
