What’s inside
- Profiles with bookmarks, history and saved passwords

The safe way
In Chrome, open Settings › Privacy and security › Delete browsing data, choose Cached images and files. That clears the cache without touching your profile.
What not to delete
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome holds your profile. Deleting it signs you out of everything and removes local bookmarks and history.
