Mac App Store Cache

Hi,

I was receiving a error in the app store which stated that I was not logged in with the Apple ID although I already was after searching the forums one suggestion was to delete the app store's cache folder located in ˜/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore. If I delete this folder after placing it in the trash, will the folder be rebuilt when I launch the app store next time? Is it safe?

Thanks for your time...

The file will be re generated the next time you open the App Store.

If you continue to have problems accessing the app store, the v10.6.7 combo update includes fixes that may help.

Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo

Restart your Mac after the update is installed.
