Using offline files in windows network

Tags: microsoft, windows xp / server 2003
Greetings,

I just recently had an issue with a win xp machine reporting low disk space.  The problem reoccured a couple of times.  I disabled offline files on that machine.  

When I was looking for space on the drive I realized that the windows/csc folder was using more than 3/4 of the drive.  Since I had disabled offline files, I deleted all the folders in the windows/csc directory.

My question is for a win xp machine on a win 2003 network what is the downside to not reenabling offline files?  

Thank you.
