How to clear cache?

What is the best way to clear cache on a Linux system?

I frequently use 'slocate' to find files on my system and doing
that often includes a whole bunch of listings in the following
directory (folder) that muddies up my search.

/home/joe/.kde/share/apps/kio_http/cache/

Is there any downside to periodically deleting all these files?
