It's perfectly safe to clear out the cache. I do it often in order to free up
disk space. The cache stores the images from each site you visit and it can be
quicker to have those images stored any time you go to those sites. However, I
find that clearing out my cache even while I'm in Netscape is quicker for me
and lessens the chance that I'll run out of memory in Netscape when I'm in
the middle of something.

A friend of mine needs to erase her netscape cache directory. I am under
the impression that the cache exists to speed up netscape; the perceived
advantage of erasing would be to clear out old sites that she hasn't
visited, and free up disk space. I am further under the impression that
no permanent harm could be done by this, as netscape would simply rebuild
the cache from the sites she visits now and in the future. Am I correct
in this, and is it safe to have her empty the cache directory?
Thanks, A
