I have been hit by this too.  For the same reason:  my work desktop
has a networked (and backed up) home dir with limited space, but the
local disk has lots of space -- so I make ~/.cache a link to a dir on
the local disk and stopped getting warnings about my disk quota being
exceeded.

I'm sure you can delete all those files, but it is more convenient not
to have to remeber to do so.

mas...@host-56-150%df .cache
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4             124G   42G   76G  36% /local

mas...@host-56-150%du -sh .cache/*
2.7M    .cache/album-art
1.4M    .cache/banshee-1
572M    .cache/common-lisp
8.0K    .cache/gedit

so there's half a gigabyte of junk in there (and my quota is only 5G
so it matters that this on now on a local disk!)
