You should have 2 "temp" folders both are system folders
and normally hidden. 1 is the Temp folder found within
the Windows main folder. 2 is Temporery Internet Files
this is often huge and may be in various places. Never
delete files from either. Use the correct methods to keep
them in check. Internet Explorer offers you the choice of
size and place to keep your Internet Temp Cache. And
Tweak programs will allow you to empty the windows Temp
each time you start your PC. Most items found in the D&S
folder are actually shortcuts to other places. Never
delete or modify these files, they are system control
files and can make your computer ill if you change them
in any way

I just started using the internet with my new xp home
edition computer. I have experience with several old
windows programs. My question is about temp folders and
do I need to clean them out? The folder I'm talking
about is
C

ocuments and Settings/owner/local settings/Temp.
There is just a ton of stuff in there. How do I know
what I need, or can I delete whats in it??
