deleting temp's

As long as they are not in use, yes.

Yes, as it is all temporary files.

A very useful and easy application is TFC by by Old Timer (save it to your desktop) TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forums

Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.

Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.
TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder. It also cleans out the %systemroot%\temp folder and checks for .tmp files in the %systemdrive% root folder, %systemroot%, and the system32 folder (both 32bit and 64bit on 64bit OSs). It shows the amount removed for each location found (in bytes) and the total removed (in MB). Before running, it will stop Explorer and all other running apps. When finished, if a reboot is required the user must reboot to finish clearing any in-use temp files.

TFC only cleans temp folders. TFC will not clean URL history, prefetch, or cookies. Depending on how often someone cleans their temp folders, their system hardware, and how many accounts are present, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. TFC will completely clear all temp files where other temp file cleaners may fail. TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.

Won't disk cleanup do the same thing when Temp files is checked? Fabe

Disc Cleanup will do a simple delete, but CCleaner can be set to overwrite the same files with the '35 Pass' Gutman Algorithm for a secure deletion.

I securely delete files from the App Data> Local> Temp File with CCleaner so I have set exclusions for the GIMP x64 Image Management Program because it stores its font configuration cache there.

Don't know how safe this is, but after my installation of Windows I always set the temp files path to a single folder. I called the folder Temp and delete it regularly.

C:\Temp Folder
