read most of the threads relating to deleting temp files, just a bit confused
my system on cdrive/ doc/ settings/ temp bring lists up in groups under
main headings I delete 'temp files' section but under headings 'File' (mainly
etilqs....) and 'XML Documents' (all IMT....) there are an awful lot of
items there. can these be deleted
 
There is a better freeware alternative to Disk CleanUp.

An alternative to Disk CleanUp is cCleaner (freeware) which does a more
thorough job than Disk CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user
profile, whereas cCleaner only needs to be run once.

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you
should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also
offers backup before removal.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

cCleaner does not remove restore points. You need to use Disk CleanUp
for this. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest
System Restore point.
