Description
chocolately creates lots of temporary/cached files when installing packages, and these aren't removed when the installation is complete. Even older version aren't removed. Chocolately needs a `cleanup` command that tells it to delete all its temporary and cached files.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Chocolatey's command handling and the temporary and cached-file management areas, then determine how older versions are identified; done means a cleanup command removes the requested temporary and cached files without affecting installed packages.
