it can lead to ever-larger Gradle User Home cache entries being saved and restored.
In order to avoid this situation, the `gradle-build-action` supports the `gradle-home-cache-cleanup` parameter.

prior to saving the Gradle User Home to the GitHub Actions cache.
Gradle Home cache cleanup is disabled by default. You can enable this feature for the action as follows:
```yaml
gradle-home-cache-cleanup: true
