I have never had any problem deleting the contents of the Temp folders and I
make sure never to select them to store anything I am saving. However, I
have some reports of people having problems with some application after
emptying their temp folders.
I suggest the following.
1. empty your recycle bin
2. Delete the contents of your temp folders this will move their contents to
the recycle bin from where they can be recovered if needed.
3. After a reasonable period of time again empty your recycle bin.
