Temp folder

I have a temp folder in
C----->Documents & Settings---->(my user name)---->local settings---->temp
Is it safe to completely delete all the files in this folder?

In my opinion. There shouldn't be any problem. Since there is only temporary
files in side that directory

Yes, after a fresh reboot, as long as you hadn't just installed some
software that required a reboot to finish.

Hi Michelle,

Just type it into the address bar, and it will appear. This is a hidden
system folder and will not be visible unless you change the folder options,
but it will show if you just type it into the address bar.

To change the folder options, go to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on
the View tab, set the options so you can see hidden and system files.
Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types".
