Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
The DXCache folder s created by your graphics card and t contains cached shaders that are create for games and helps the games to load faster.
You can delete the contents of that folder, not the folder itself of you need to gain some space, but initially after deleting the contents, it may take games longer to load until new shaders are created.
