Cache Recreate in Dreamweaver CS5

[Lulu]

Hi

 

I've recently attempted some tidying up in Dreamweaver and moved a couple of folders around during which I received this message:

"The cache will now be recreated because the name, root folder, HTTP address of cloaking settings of the site have been changed."

 

I tried to close the dialogue box, but the system went ahead and recreated the cache. I now have a total 'bugger's muddle' in DW where one of the folders I was moving has become the top level folder and every single thing on my desktop including links, miscellaneous folders, DW folders etc are sub folders of it.

 

I've read quite a bit since about cache recreate and think I understand what it's supposed to do, but I can't see why it would have done what it has.

 

Has anyone used cache recreate, and what was the outcome?

 

Many thanks
