 * Hi
    Recently I have problem with clearing caches and with my site. Sometime in
   may dashboard I have internal server error and it’s not related with memory limit.
   After click on empty all caches It’s removing a lot of time cache. In first try
   usually there is internal server error 500 second or third try clearing normally
   with notice at the end All “caches successfully emptied.” and my site has cleared
   cache and another clearings goes well, but strange thing is that in folder cache
   there is still a LOT of cached files.
 * My file manager panel in my host crashed after calculationg numbers of files 
   so my hosting provider disabled this calculating files option for me and now 
   I have possibility to open manager of files.
 * I have question. Can I remove this cache folder manually ? or some folders from
   it (config , db, minify, object, page_enhanced, tmp)? What will be the ressult?
   W3 total cache automaticly rebuild this folder after deleting it ? I’d like to
   clear all these files maybe they have bad influance on my site…
