Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
This is a normal user data folder, not a typical cache. Deleting files here can permanently remove personal photos, albums, edited images, or app libraries unless you have a verified backup.
Recommendation: Keep this folder. Review its contents carefully and only remove specific files or subfolders you clearly recognize and no longer need. If it contains a Photos library or other image libraries, do not delete them unless you are sure they are unused and backed up.
