    files in window\temp

    I seem to have a lot of files and directories in my c:\windows\temp folder - tons of files with names like "www4342.tmp" that bother me in particular. I tried using disk cleanup, but for some reason it doesn't touch the files in this directory (some I recognise as being very old).

    Is there any danger in manually deleting all of the files and folders in this directory?

    If it were my computer, I'd boot to DOS and type:
    • deltree /y c:\windows\temp\
