Can I delete these files?
If you have a newer computer with a large hard drive, I wouldn't worry about it. However, erasing these files wouldn't hurt anything.

Start


Programs


Accessories


System Tools


run Disk Cleanup, then defrag
Reply:the temp folder is where the computer downloads and holds stuff when you open a file off the internet


most of the time you don't need anything in there, so if you want to free up a lot of space, then yeah, you can delete the stuff (don't delete the folder, though)
Reply:Yes. You can delete anything in the temp folder.





Some files in the folder maybe in use and you may not be able to delete them. You can delete them in safe-mode though.

Reply:If your computer is made by HP, those might be system files, so I wouldn't. If not, look for programs on your computer made by HP--if you don't need those programs, uninstall them. Since this is in the C: drive, I'd be weary of deleting them without doing so by uninstalling a program.
