cache files in some subdirs of /usr/share/icons

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

I'm running F18 (and F19), and I saw some files called
*icon-theme.cache* in a lot of subdirs of /usr/share/icons, partially 
consuming a lot of disk space.

MY question: Can I remove them safely?

Kind regards

Rename the file...  Come back in a week.  If the world has not ended.  Delete them.

FWIW, I only found 3 of these on my system and they only add up to 160MB.
