What does this game cache so that the cache folder can become 4 gigs in just 2 weeks?

I mean all the char pictures and pictures for items and mods and ammo and whatnot cannot be that much or can it?

I heard of someone installing Sisi client and then ending up with a 10 gig cache file without even logging in as well.

The game might cache patch files it downloaded too (although these might sit in C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE too). Even if it's that big, it's save to delete the cache folder(s) at any time (while the game isn't running). Any ressources the game still needs will be reaquired the next time you run the game.
