Hi Mark,
As a general rule, ANYTHING is a \temp folder can
usually be deleted. Personally, I would strongly
recommend leaving anything you delete in the
Recycle Bin for a week or so, just in case
anything barks back at you. You can then restore
if needs be.
That said, make sure you are not running any
applications such as Word, Excel, Access, etc.,
when you empty them. However, you may well find
that you get an "Access denied", or similar,
message if a file is actually in use, since
depending on the type of system you are running,
some processes may make use of these folders.
George.
