Can I delete the contents of this folder:
c:\documents and settings\my user name\local settings\temp
Discussion is locked
The easiest way to get to Temp files is by using the Run dialog box, entering %temp%. You can delete all it contains. If a file can't be deleted, it's in use.
For the most part, those files are created and deleted as needed. A few programs may not always clean up after themselves, but generally speaking, there's little point to deleting those files, they'll just be recreated later.
it will clean out the temp dir and a lot of other crap: http://www.ccleaner.com/
