Download clear_evecache.v2.bat here! (zipped)
I wrote a batch file for EVE, which clears everything inside your Logs/Cache/Capture folders, while saving your ingame preferences and screenshots. The program then launches a clean start of EVE, which should run smoother with all the excess junk removed. 
The batch file uses the default install path for EVE. If you installed EVE to a different path then the batch file needs to be changed. You can do this by renaming the 'clear_evecache.v2.bat' file to 'clear_evecache.v2.txt' and opening it with a text editor.
The following file looks like this: *Updated with new code, thanks to jamesbaker*
 Originally by: clear_evecache.v2.bat
@echo off
move /y "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\cache\prefs.ini" "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE"
move /y "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\cache\settings" "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE"
del /s /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\cache\*.*"
del /s /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\logs\*.*"
del /s /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\capture\Chatlogs\*.*"
del /s /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\capture\Gamelogs\*.*"
del /s /f /q "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\capture\Portraits\*.*"
move /y "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\Settings" "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\cache"
move /y "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\prefs.ini" "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\cache"
start "Eve" "%ProgramFiles%\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
so just change all the folder paths so they correctly point to your EVE directory, and everything should work fine. I'm no code expert so the above may be sloppy, but it works. (%ProgramFiles% represents your 'Program Files' folder in Windows)
I have a shortcut pointed to this file so I can start a clean version of EVE whenever nessecary, and I find this program to be very useful. I hope others find it useful as well!

Yes, the settings folder and prefs.ini fiels are not deleted, so basically all your settings are saved.

Sometimes when you delete your cache and EVE downloads your portrait, it shows up looking funny. I just clear my chache again and everything gets fixed.

Update: Thanks to jamesbaker, revised the batch file to add more support for different drivepaths.

o_O Back from the dead!
I used %ProgramFiles% because that automatically points it to your Program Files folder, where it is or whatever drive letter your HD uses. I guess it's a little confusing though.
