Is it ok to delete like localthumbcache.pkg file or not?

Yes the localthumbcache.pkg file is temporary and can be deleted.
A fresh new one will be created next time you play.

Edit: Just realized you asked about the other cache file. 

It too is temporary. I have deleted it as well and it too will be recreated when you play next time.

I think EuphorialQueen is correct. 

I should add, though, that I don't recommend deleting files like localthumbcache or avatarcache unless you're troubleshooting issues or want to start fresh, because deleting them just means the game has to download/generate those avatars and thumbnails again.

If for some reason cache files like that are causing issues, that would likely be a bug.
