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*

@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!

I recommend this. I wouldnt trust 3rd party programs because of the chance you get a virus or trojan horse. Its been awhile since I wrote a bat file. Thank you Cscott you are an Eve hero once again.

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

So.. i ran it.. does a nice job.
Only problem is.. when i click on my character sheet, its a different portrait. its still the same face shape and position, but its different textures, colors, everything. I dont quite like that.
You can see what my portrait looks like on the forums here. When I click on view member details in game, it has my original portrait, and my original portrait is also in the chat (so far, who knows whats gona happen). But in character sheet, different portrait..

I've had the same Gurista Imputor on my tail for the past 16 systems..

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.

Just a note. Not everyone has installed EVE in that location. But I guess if you install it a different directory, you are poweruser enough to edit the bat file to reflect the correct directory.
(I have mine installed on my game disk F:\eve\ just as an example.)
