Are there differnt kinds of Temp files in XP

[wumply]

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 believe that these are the same folder.

As for deleting items in there, typically you can remove all the files and sub-folders within the temp folder without any problems.
