In AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_eve_tranquility

There is a bunch of cache_backup folders (cache_backup0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc)
I look at Date Modified and they have not been touched in a very long time.
Is it safe to delete them all? Or all except for the most recent one? Each folder takes up 300MB I would like to reclaim the space.

Tired of waiting for answer so I just deleted them.
Will report back if it breaks my Eve client. HEH.

Yes. "clear cache" doesn't actually clear it, it just lazily renames the directory as a "backup" (which you will never use) and leaves it hanging around forever.
