Delete caches and save disk space
Authored by: TigerKR on May 01, '06 09:03:38PM

Just be careful about deleting some application localizations. Some applications may have dependencies to those localizations. Some time ago, I remember a problem when someone tried to delete localizations, and they ended up having to reinstall that application.

Yep, certain apps can mysteriously misbehave after you've deleted their language localization files. And Apple software updates can reinstall ones you've deleted so it's not necessarily a one-time removal routine.

I don't see any reason to risk removing those files unless reclaiming disk space is a necessity and there are no safer alternatives.
