Microsoft Edge internet cache issue

For a couple of days, I have been using CCleaner to remove large amounts of internet cache (usually 1-2 GB per day) for Microsoft Edge. However, in only a couples days use, I have hit over 6 GB of internet cache. I am not quite sure if the issue is with Microsoft Edge or if it is with my PC. Having used Firefox prior, I have never seen such an issue.
