davlik cache is just a temporary cache for all apps, this can be wiped at all times, it will take about 1.5 min to boot after dalvik is cleared.

Which Kernel were you / are you on?
What steps did you take to wipe the cache?
Wiping the cache will not impact your external storage but need more information on what exactly you did..
indeed...wiping just the cache partition shouldnt affect anything on the sd memory unless there was a format command for internal or external, whichever is lost...if files were deleted and you have no backup, you made a big mistake
sory its the dalvik folder i try to wipe it but fail i think i acedenty delet folder of the cache dalvik how yo fix this. . i dont have back up so damn huhu
i try to wipe in in recovery but fail huhu cache dalvik
sory its dalvik not kernel
jeezz dude you need to read more...i dont think you know what youre doing
Just wanted to know what happens when you format /system and /preload partitions.
Suppose you format /system from recovery. Can you boot into you ROM after that? Or is that where the ROM was?

If you format /system in recovery you blow away the ROM, definitely cannot boot after that. If you format /data as well, the only way you'll be able to recover is with an ADB sideload.

Thanks.
What if I format /system + /data + cache and dalvik chache and then flash a custom rom right after that, without rebooting the phone in any way [meaning not rebooting into system or bootloader or recovery] that should be ok right? Coz I came from a S3 and that combination worked perfectly for it.
Also still have no idea what the /preload partition and formatting it does.
That's what I do when I update within a rom.
Wipe system, cache, dalvik. Flash rom, then wipe cache/dalvik again.
Just a habit after all the different recommendations from previous devs in the past.

Yes you can wipe /system, /data and /cache and you're good to flash a ROM, no need to reboot back into recovery again. Dalvik-cache is located on /data, so no need to wipe dalvik when you're wiping data, it's redundant. There is no need to worry about wiping or formatting /preload in almost all situations, otherwise the ROM devs would be telling us to do it. Back in my Galaxy s3 days I remember some ROMs would wipe and flash /preload but I don't think it's a big deal on the One. If it needs to be done, the ROM installation script will handle it.
Most ROM installation scripts wipe /system so it usually isn't necessary to do it yourself. However I do it anyway just to insure a completely clean installation in case the dev's script is messed up (it does happen). Wiping /data is optional of course but it is recommended when changing the base version (for example, 4.1.2 to 4.2.2) or if you're anal like me you can wipe data when upgrading between HTC base versions (2.17 to 2.24 for instance). Some people don't ever wipe /data and don't have any problems, but I can guarantee many of the weird odd-ball issues on this forum could have been prevented with a full wipe.

Very helpful replies guys. Thanks =}
Am trying to use this app but I keep getting no root access warning which I have granted multiple times. Also, I read somewhere that I should clear cache and delvic cache, already did that too. What else am I missing? Should I format in ext2? I formatted my 2nd partition for ext4
Sorry if this has been posted or asked already, I tried to look up and couldn't find any.
So where on earth Wipe Cache Partition is on Nokia 7 Plus? I did tried to go into recovery, can wipe data but there is no wipe cache partition. There was an another user who didn't had the option either so I guess 7 Plus don't or is it hiding under something?
Thanks.
