Which Temp folders to delete?

Hi everyone, I know contents in the Temp folders can be deleted. What
about other Temp folders? Can I delete the contents in C:\Documents
and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp?

Thanks all.

There is this active temp folder only by default: Start > Run: %TEMP%
And by default, this is the folder as mentioned above depending on the
user being logged in.

Yes. I have a batch file that deletes the contents of my temp folders
on startup to keep things cleaned up. I put the shortcut into the
Startup folder which is the last processed item to startup, so any
installation routines will process first.

Opening the Temp from Start > Run > Temp and by opening the above path
showed different contents, thus different size. I'm just afraid that
deleting them will be detrimental.

Again, Start > Run: %TEMP%

What folder shows up when applying the command above and what other temp
folders are you talking about in paricular?

Thanks everyone. Guess CCleaner does clean up the Temp folder. I
thinks its best to leave the other Temp folder as it is.
