You don’t need to read this unless you are an iPhoto user wondering if it’s safe to delete your iPod photo cache.

I was poking around inside the package and noticed that my iPod Photo Cache directory was bigger that my Originals directory. On what planet does that make sense and why doesn’t iPhoto try to be helpful and clean up after itself?

A quick Google search determined that it should be safe to delete as the cache would be rebuilt. I backed up the drive to be safe and re-synced my iPod. I acknowledged a warning that this was the first time I was syncing my photos and I was off.

Old cache 8GB. New cache 162MB. Your iPod photo cache is safe to delete.
