It doesnt delete anything important.  ITs just a section of the hard drive that is reserved for system use so that things can load faster and stuff.  Every once in a  while the contents of the cache can become counter productive for some reason and it needs to be cleared.  But it affect absolutely NOTHING.  And most of the time you dont relaly need to do it.  I wouldnt suggest doing it regularly cuz that might cause some problems.

Actually, doing it regularly might not be such a bad idea, if you play numerous different games that is.  If you know anything about how this stuff works, you'd know that at times, a cache of any form can get a bit congested.  At least if it isn't a self clearing cache, which appears to be what the 360 uses.  If there are only one or two games you  play on a regular basis, then sure, you won't see any performance problems.  But for those of us who play many different games, the cache can get a bit full and cause more harm than it does good.  So go ahead, clear it.  Just know that you're gonna have to download updates again, which takes like, 30 seconds or so.
