+Garbage Collector
+-----------------
+
+.. note:: When using systemd, ``kres-cache-gc.service`` is enabled by default
+ and does not need any manual configuration.
+
+Knot Resolver employs a separate garbage collector daemon which periodically
+trims the cache to keep its size below size limit configured using
+:envvar:`cache.size`.
+
+To execute the daemon manually, you can use the following command to run it
+every second:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ kres-cache-gc -c /var/cache/knot-resolver -d 1000
