The Cakewalk Picture Cache is a special folder on your hard drive that is created when you install any of the Cakewalk sequencing applications, such as Sonar. After working with your Cakewalk software for a while, you'll find the Picture Cache folder filled with lots of different files all having the same .WOV extension.

These .WOV files have nothing to do with any of your project data, so if you delete them by accident there's no need to worry. The files simply contain 'pictures' of the waveforms from any and all the audio data contained in your Cakewalk projects. Keeping these 'pictures' on file allows your Cakewalk software to quickly 'draw' your audio waveforms on the screen, which would otherwise take much longer.

So from what I make of it, the wov files are akin to tmp files in windows & pretty much useless..
