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!)
