The .cache directory in a looker instance is the local cache layer that can contain any cache usage. This could range from query results, to other internal objects such as internal representation of a Looker user or model. There's also use-case where the cache stores large pieces of data during an asynchronous operation.

Side-note:

There's also a .cache directory in packages/docs
