The short answer
Yes. Rebuilt or re-downloaded automatically when needed.
What is it?
Chrome’s disk cache for every profile: images, scripts and other files from websites you visit, stored in ~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome. Chrome limits its size on its own, typically to a few hundred MB to a few GB.
Web cache of every Chrome profile. Rebuilt as you browse; tabs, passwords and history are elsewhere.
What happens if you delete it?
Rebuilt as you browse; pages load a little slower the first time. Bookmarks, passwords, history, cookies and open tabs are stored in your profile, not here, so you stay signed in.
How to remove it properly
In Chrome, open Settings › Privacy and security › Delete browsing data, select only “Cached images and files” and choose a time range. Or quit Chrome and move the folder to the Trash.
Quit the app that uses it, then move it to the Trash. Empty the Trash when you’re sure.
How MoreRoom helps
