How to clear the Jomcomment cache?

The component Jom Comment has a very bad flaw, it has it's own cache
system but does not properly manage it.

The cache folder is located in this path:
/public_html/components/libraries/cmslib/cache

You can clear down the cache manually by pressing a button in the back end but if you
leave it for a month or two then due to a logic error it fills up its
own cache folder. Very soon you can find your site disc quota completely
used up by the Jom Comment cache. Using up all your disc quota is a very
bad thing on a Joomla site you can cause yourself bigger problems so
avoid it at all costs.

If you want to keep the Jom Comment cache functionality but want it
cleared down regularly then go to your hosts control panel and create a
new cron job. The command line should read like this:

find /home/cpanelname/public_html/components/libraries/cmslib/cache/ -type f -mmin +60 -exec rm {} \;

Replace cpanelname with the name of your own personal site cpanel.
Ensure the cron job runs daily and the cache will be cleared down, this
will save your disc space and possibly your site.
