@Aahna, .cache is where user-specific non-essential data is written. Please refer to the below link to get an understanding: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory 1. Determine which applications are writing their data to .cache 2. If you are not sure about an applications requirement, do not delete it 3. take a backup OR 3. Take a backup of the .cache directory 4. delete the contents of .cache directory and leave the directory empty. It is recommended to not just run "rm -rf" blindly, find out the contents of the .cache directory, if you think there are some applications you are not sure about keep those, and maybe remove the rest. thanks Ragini
