LuciaCache - What is this?

What is LuciaCache in the context of PowerBI Desktop? And can I delete the contents in that folder? It is not the normal cache which can be cleared from within PowerBI Desktop.

    BobbyTables,

    I got response from PG:

Anonymous: Thanks for the test! My LuciaCache folder tends to be quite big, hence the question. Looking forward to hear what the LuciaCache is (mainly pure curiosity :) ).

    Hi, is it safe to say that we can delete BOTH LuciaIndex and LuciaCache? Thanks.
