The thing to remember that the main purpose of the cache is to avoid the
Drupal core from needing to scan all the files on each page load.

If you are using a tool in Drupal to change the files, then that tools
can clear the caches needed, but most file editing is done outside of
Drupal, and unless the editing tool is "Drupal Aware", it doesn't know
about the need to do so.
