Launched applications store their caches in your /Users/username/Library/Caches folder. These are the only caches that you would have permission to and rarely need to manage. I don't bother.


Your only means of managing System caches would be via booting into Safe Boot mode as has already been mentioned. Again, I don't bother as for the most part, the System takes care of that.
