From what I can remember reading, when a phone boots up it makes some kind of cache of the installed applications.. it allows the phone to boot up in less time after the initial boot (in the initial boot, its making the cache that's why it takes a long time)..
When you wipe dalvik cache, this cache is deleted.. when you wipe the dalvik cache and boot you'll notice that it makes the cache again..

In the Blue Magic ROM thread, it says to clear cache on every boot, how would I go about doing that?
in Amon-Ra's recovery there as an option to wipe your dalvix cache. Hope it helps
Actually, it does this every boot by itself.
But if you want to clear it yourself, you can get a cache clearing app off the market like Cachecleaner (free) and just use that. And you can also do what Protomanez said

regular cache is different than dalvik-cache.
regular cache is stored in /data/data/"app.name.here"
while dalvik-cache is stored in /data/
If you clear the dalvik-cache it will take a while for your phone to boot up because it has to reload the dalvik-cache back to your data directory all over again.
OK so every ROM that you want to move to requests (requires) that you wipe before you load the new ROM. That makes sense to me as you want a clean install.
My question is, what am I supposed to wipe (Sorry stupid question). I boot to recovery and I have a wipe menu and I have several options:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Dalvik-cache
Wipe SD:ext partition
I have two more for wiping stats which I will make an educated guess are not required. Should I wipe everything listed above? Just dalvik cache?

Thanks! Also figured out how to clear up a problem with wiping dalvik that I had by partitioning SD card again.
I have been trying to flash "Thanatos2X v4.0 EXT4" However, i cant boot it into the animation screen. And i dunno wat is the problem.. Any help? Previously used rom is BlazingDragon2.0b.
did you wiped cache and dalvik cache?
Yeah, i wipe, clear cache and delvik cache, and flash it, but i just wont pass the LG loading screen T_T. Is it something to do with the ext3 and ext 4?
I changed my default font system and after reboot my phone freezes on boot animation and doesn't boot to system. Can anyone help me?
i have a backup from all my data and rom. If i had to flash plz let me know what should i do before? should i wipe cache, dalvik cach, factory reset and system? and then install zip?

I restored backup and then (not before) wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache (without factory reset and system). No problem?
Now boot too system is OK...

if you have not changed rom is the same delete all or not
but a few wipe more never spoils
So I just started using TWRP and its awesome and I wanted to a simple cache partition wipe like you know the wipe cache partition on a stock recovery, so I was wondering if I should just select the Cache option in the Wipe menu or both the Cache and the Dalvik Cache?
i always wipe both, cache and dalvik - never hurts.
Thanks.
