Description
When a user is removing Boost or WPSC they may need to delete the file wp-content/advanced-cache.php. I just found out that some hosts hide that file, and they have to "show hidden files" to view it. We should update documentation to reflect that possible situation.

Research direction
Start by locating the Boost and WPSC removal documentation that tells users to delete wp-content/advanced-cache.php, then check the linked support report for context. Update the instructions to mention that some hosts hide advanced-cache.php and that users may need to enable “show hidden files”; done means the warning appears in the relevant removal guidance.
