 * I noticed when I did a backup of my site that SmartSlider2 has built a lot of
   cached files. Do I need all of these. There is a ton of them. Is there something
   in the program that references them or can I delete them. Perhaps there are so
   many from learning my way through the interface.

 * Smart Slider 2 build up the Js and the CSS files into one file to speed up the
   serving of these resources. This behavior used on the admin interface too. This
   is why you might see multiple files.
    So the answer for your question is yes,
   you can empty those folders(Also you can clear this cache in your WordPress admin/
   settings/Nextend settings/Clear cache button). The Smart Slider will regenerate
   the necessary files again when it shows.
 * Note: There is an exception for this process. When you are using full page caching
   with some other plugins, you might need to clear that cache too. If you just 
   empty our cache folder and you have full page cache, when the page loads, it 
   served from the full page cache and Smart Slider not initialized, so cache is
   not regenerated.

 * What do you mean by “full page caching”? I’m trying to find how to clear that
   via google and I can’t find any clear procedures.

 * For example W3 total cache plugin or any other popular caching plugin…
