This isn't so much a "new player" question, but I figured I'd get a better answer here than in GD.
Anyway, over the years, I've built up a rather bothersome number of unnecessary extra auto-fill entries due to one-off contracts, mis-typed item names, mis-typed location names, mis-typed text in general, and I've been thinking about clearing the cache to clear those out. However, I'm concerned about what all would be cleared.
Other than text entries, what else is cleared when using the Clear All Cache Files button? Is there anything important that goes along with that?

if you just want to get rid of autofill entries just right click in the box and clear history
the cache has pretty much all your settings, window locations, market quick bar, overview settings. can be pretty annoying to reset, probably want to back it up before you do it unless something is broken.

Nearly everything in the EvE UI has a right-click context menu.

There is an option in Esc menu - Reset Settings tab - that will do what you describe but it's not 'Clear all cache files'. What you're describing is done when you select 'Clear all settings' which is located just above 'Clear all cache files'.
I select 'Clear all cache files' after every new game patch and none of my in-game settings are disturbed. 'Clear all cache files' actually helps to clear out little annoying bugs.
Cache file = A file of data on a local hard drive. When downloaded data is temporarily stored on the user's local disk or on a local network disk which speeds up retrieval the next time the user wants that same data (Web page, graphic, etc.) from the Internet or other remote source.
