This folder is used by MS Office for repair operation. %windir%\Installer folder also does the same job. Its used by products which are installed using Windows Installer. I'll advise not to touch this folder otherwise you might face some serious issues. ^^ You can safely delete "MSOcache" folder but keep one thing in mind, you'll not be able to repair Microsoft Office files in future.
