You have indicated this is a live environment which means visitors call the pages on the installation.

Whenever you remove a cache folder Magento will create a new version as soon as a user visits a certain page on the website. So this is actually desired behaviour

Nope, you can flush cache and it'll apply your changes but will rebuild the cache right away – Sander Mangel Mar 30 '15 at 10:51
if i "flush magento cache" is that enough? – Baby in Magento Mar 30 '15 at 11:01
if cache i keep on storing means, will there be any problem? – Baby in Magento Mar 30 '15 at 11:01
