what types of access are these 3 folders used for?

Does the 'Clear auth cache' button in settings simply clear these 3
folders completely? It seems we are missing a link between these 2 topics.

A nicer feature would be to display all these cached credentials (show
repo URL and auth type) in a checklist so you could select them
individually for clearing.
