About 10G here, of which almost 5G is email, much of which would be permanently lost if ~/.cache were to be cleared (e.g. from older email providers). Probably i could move it somewhere else, but Evolution has kept it there for a long time now. I've changed email providers several times. And some cached things that took several days to generate, that i'd rather not lose randomly; i wrote the program that generated them, and i wouldn't really mind doing some configuration, but i'd rather not be taken by surprise.
