My mac has been running slow recently, and I realised that I have about 9gb of cache on my laptop.
Is there a safe/good way to remove some of the cache stored up in order make my laptop run a bit faster or is this just a terrible idea.
If this isn't a great idea is there anything else you could suggest?

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Then reboot as normal

Safe way to empty cache
