Delete windows.cache?

[AwkwardFerret]

So I noticed a file by the name of windows.cache is taking up quite a lot of space. Is this a crucial file to keep? Or can I just delete it and verify the files in steam to lower the size?

Windows.cache is your back-up data cache.  trust me, when you start getting a lot of programs, you are going to want to keep it.

sorry, might have not been specific enough. The file is cache.windows and it is located in the warframe files.

The cache.windows is warframe.  If you delete this, you will have to download almost the entire game over again to the tune of 10+ gigs.

Don't touch, let the game manage its own folders, it cleans garbage and repackages files all by itself.

(And don't use Steam Verify to maintain your warframe installation either, Steam is always badly out of date.  If you think something is corrupted in your files, then open the launcher and click the little gear wheel icon in the upper right corner. There's a "Verify" option in there.)
