In all my joomla 2.5.x test and 1.7.x installation I have the same problem
It is a bug in the file cache system
Instead of deleting the content of the cache folder the sytem delete the folder.

To reproduce the problem

1) activate Conservative caching
2) Select Cache lite
3) save the change

Try the site, clear the "Epired cache" all is fine
Go to the folder "administrator" and you see the folder "cache" is there

to get the problem

1) Put the caching to OFF
2) Save the change
3)go to the folder "administrator" and you see the folder "cache" is no more there

Try to clear the "Epired cache" and you will get an error "Error purging expired items"

Try to enable the file cache ... Ho no more file cache into the menu.

To correct the problem just recreate the folder "cache" into the administrator directory and all work now fine
