Weird. Also. I find if I switch between dashboard and entourage there is no less than a 5-10 minute wait before entourage unfreezes. It seems to be running through some set of checks of every folder (in the millions of folders) that I have in my entourage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I can't believe I just wanted to use the dashboard to check the temp outside and I had to wait almost 12 minutes to get back to my email. It sort of defeats the purpose....

If you download Onxy, you can run a cache cleaning and safely clean everything. It might take a while ( a few mins) but mine has now been reduced to 244K. my caches were 499MB.

I wouldn't delete everything. I don't actually know what would happen, but I could easily see that causing some problems. Robb, mine is about the same size. I wouldn’t delete everything.

It's not the one on the top level of your drive, it's in your Users (Home) folder. Example: My user name is "Paul", so the path I look in is <em>Paul/Library/Caches/DashboardClient</em>. Also note that the folder is called "DashboardClient", not <em>dashboard/client</em>. metro, make sure you’re looking in the right Library folder. It’s not the one on the top level of your drive, it’s in your Users (Home) folder.

Example: My user name is “Paul”, so the path I look in is Paul/Library/Caches/DashboardClient.

Also note that the folder is called “DashboardClient”, not dashboard/client.
