Yes, you can do this. Some programs and utilties place files there while
they are active. If a program happens to need one or more of those files, it
will not let you delete that particular file. Th best time to do this is
right after a fresh reboot, before you open any programs.

Please reply to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
 
You can delete anything in the temporary directorys and in some cases, any
file ending with .tmp.

Temporary directorys can be found in:
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files

Replace Windows with your windows directory or replace it with %windir% in
scripts.
Replace Administrator with the username or replace it with %username% in
scripts.
