.cache is reserved for a cache folder used by the packager and resources view (and by some 3rd-party programs). It’d be poor design for a program to use .cache as a filename in any case.
So why do you need a file named .cache?

I see now. I use a python package named ‘spotipy’ which stores the user’s authentication token in the .cache file. Thanks for your help.
