I am running Buggins' current release too, and it still works OK. You can put the script anywhere that you want to because the argument to the rm command is a full path specification to the location of the cache. Buggins puts the cache in the same places on both the 6" and 5" readers.

Editing the file on a Windows PC can be very tricky and Notepad definitely will cause the file to no longer work. That is because the file must be a Linux text file and not a Windows or Mac text file. I initially had a lot of the same trouble that you are seeing because I just cut and pasted the suggested commands from Buggins into my normal text editor. I spent hours of failed attempts trying to get it to work. That is why I uploaded a ZIP file of my working script instead of just posting those few lines of code. It was really frustrating trying to get the script to work because there is no way to view the error messages from the Bash shell when trying to run the script. I ended up writing my working script in Notepad++, where I could ensure that it was a UNIX text file with only ANSI characters in it.
I can only say that I did get it working, and it works well on both my 6" and 5" readers with the current Buggins firmware. If you need to edit the script yourself, I hope that my explanation made some sense?
