Nvidia shader cache empty

So recently did a clean wipe of my PoE shaders directory & my Nvidia shaders directory as I was having fps issues and texture loading issues while playing resulting in crashes. Game has been stable since & running on vulkan but every instance and zone including I've been in before are having capped shader bar & long load times.

Went to my PoE shaders directory and it's been filling up slowly, however my Nvidia shaders folder is sat on 0mb. Feels like my shaders just reset every new launch of the game at this point. Nvidia control panel shader budget set to 100gb, not too sure what to do at this point
