I'm running Windows XP and was wondering if it would be okay to delete everything in my Temp folder that is found under the documents and settings folder in my c drive? My Temp folder is 228MB, so I want to know if its okay to delete or not.
Here's the directory of that Temp folder:
C\Documents and settings\BuddhaTB\Local Settings\Temp

i was wondering the same thing...
deleted everything. (about a month ago).
nothing happened AFAIK.
all seems to be OK.
suggest you do it with no open apps.
(if you have a running app that is using some files in the TEMP and you delete it, might mess up the app or its data).
It will be OK

Anything in the temp DIR is fair game for deletion.
If the file is in use, it can not be deleted, XP/NT/2000 wont allow it.
Dont forget that under XP there are 2 temp dirs:
"c:windowstemp"
and
"c:documents and settings%username%local settingstemp"
