hidden cache

Concealed supply spot

A hidden cache is a concealed storage spot, typically for supplies, valuables, or contraband.

The phrase emphasizes both secrecy and deliberate placement—someone hid these things intending to retrieve them later: Hikers discovered a hidden cache of survival gear, Police found a hidden cache of weapons in the basement.

In computing, a hidden cache stores temporary files in locations not immediately visible to users.
