Windows TEMP files

[memevector]

This feels like a bit of a "kindergarten" question and I feel slightly foolish needing to ask it, as if I "ought to know" already... but by the same token if it's as kindergarten as all that then it won't be much trouble for someone to answer me :-)

I just want to know: the stuff in the Windows TEMP folder, would that be things I have to be careful about deleting or is it basically just leftover crap? Or how can I tell the difference? Because there is rather a lot of it at the moment and I could do with reclaiming some drive space.

This is Win98 by the way (and no I don't want to upgrade, I don't care that it's a bit pants, it generally does what I need it to do and I don't have the brain space to even want to think about any extra logistics at the moment unless I have to)

Thanks in advance for advice.

This may be a granny-sucking-eggs moment, but do you also defrag the drive regularly / ever?

Particularly now you've just wiped lots of small files built up over time.
