Hmmm. I'm always wary of touching anything in /System/. But in fact I don't
see any LaunchServices file in /System/Library/Caches/. So you must mean in
/Library/Caches/ , not in /System/? I find no fewr than 4 separate files in
/System/Library/Caches/ , all quite recently modified:
com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices-014502.csstore
com.apple.LaunchServices-014503.csstore
This is in Tiger (10.4.2) - seems to change with every major OS. Those
...501/502/503 indexes sound suspiciously as if they might be referring to
users even though they're here in /Library. Did you just have to remove that
single 0140 file, or do you just see that one altogether? Or are you maybe
not in Tiger?
Matt, which of them (one or all) would you remove?
