CabGeneric files taking up space

I recently ran the program SpaceMonger on my computer to
see where all my hard drive space had gone. To my
surprise, it showed 30 gigs where being used by a dozen
or so huge files. The files are in C:/Documents and
Settings/User/Local Settings/Temp/CabGeneric. All have
strange names such as "=tq-8g-l." and "= b". Their
location in the temp folder makes me especially skeptical
of their importance, and I was wondering if anybody knew
what these files are and if it is safe to get rid of
them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Adam

Could be anything from game set points to whatever. I'd exterminate
anything in a temp
folder with no worry.
