The folder contains caches, application support data, and preference files, and if you screw around in there too much, you could really screw things up. We DO NOT recommend it.

As would be expected, you will findthat the programs you access most often have the largest cache size. You shouldn't clear any contents of your /System/Caches unless there is a problem. Yes, it is safe, but do not delete all the contents of your cache folder, clear out those taking up the most space in your /Library/Caches/. Mac terminal clear. Always remember that caches improve the performance of your machine, and shouldn't be cleaned out regularly or blindly.

These steps also work with Mac OS X El Capitan and Yosemite. In earlier versions of OS X, a command line entry was required to perform the same magic.
