Yes - unless you have been purposely saving things there.

I can't speak professionally as to the file's importance, but I've

blown mine away many times without issue. YMMV.

 

However, you might prefer to be selective in your cleaning, leaving

behind cookies that help you log in to various sites. The files are

small, and Spybot / Adaware can help you remove the more onerous

cookies without removing ones you want. So, a preferred method might

be to go to MSIE and use the Tools-> Options-> Delete Files feature to

remove the files and then use the anti-spy software to clean the

cookies in a tempered way.

Yes and one of the easiest ways to do this effectively, clearing the temp

folders with the same mouse clicks, is with ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com).

 

Take care during install if you don't want the extra toolbar. Once

installed, and once you've set the options you want, you can simply

right-click on the recycle bin and choose "run ccleaner". This takes

seconds, will run without the UI, and you're done.
