I'm completely unexperienced with selinux, but shouldn't I be able to delete .cache cause I own the dir and have write permission ?
Your idea is reasonable. To be able to modify a file you need "w"
permission on that file. HOWEVER, removing a file is not considered
to be modifying THAT file. It is modifying the directory which
contains the file.
Note that if there was another hard link to the file in a different
directory, the file is not modified Contents remain, link count
drops. But the containing directory is modified, it loses an entry.
You have write permission on .cache, but not on ".", the containing
directory. So you can modify the contents of .cache, not "."
