Now I've had time to mull this over... if there's an icon problem you logout and back in causing the entire sys cache to be rebuilt. If you use this script, you force icons to get messed up - look at the mess in dolphin as the example. So you logout and back in causing the entire sys cache to be rebuilt. This script does no good at all just forces icons to go out of sync.
Secondly, there are no basic sanity tests in the script - for many users it will try to cd into a non-existant directory! Test for files/dirs before operating on them - Bash 101.

Sorry, this is just script-kiddy nonsense.

firstly the prefix is not always right many installations use .kde. second deleting part of the system cache breaks parts of kde which require logging out then in again to rebuild the entire cache directory. stupid. its one thing to delete the entire desktop cache, but deleting only parts of it makes no sense. that's why i warn ppl about using this script.
