As for deleting items in there, typically you can remove all the files and sub-folders within the temp folder without any problems.
I ask because...
1. If I go C > Properties > Disk Cleanup, Disck cleanup runs, lists files/whatever with the space they take up and asks if I want to remove them. Well, one of the list items is called 'Temp" about which it says: "Programs sometimes store temporary information in a temp folder. Before a program closes, it usually deletes this information."
2. If, however, I go C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\... I see next a folder called 'Temp'.
Is this temp different than the C > Properties > Disk Cleanup temp folder. If it is what is the difference?
And can these temp files in #2 be safely deleted--at least the ones that Windows will let you delete?

I've created my own website...a collection of moving, sad and happy and humorous poems which I would like to share with others. They come from stories my dad used to tell me when I was a kid. If you could glance at my site and if you know of others who might enjoy it and perhaps tell them of it, I would be most appreciative. Thank you. The address is www.metrocast.net/~wumply/exper-1.html
