%Temp% files vs. temporary internet files in Internet Options

[lernme]

When I go to Internet Options and delete (including offline files)
temporary internet files, I then go to Start > run and type in %temp%
and find all these other files with the path
C:\DOCUME~1\John\LOCALS~1\Temp

What are these files and can they be deleted safely? Is there a reason
to delete them?


Happy New Year to everyone, may it be prosperous.

Any file in any of the temp folders may be deleted if they are not in use.
They are after all temporary. XP will not allow you to delete a file that
is in use regardless of which folder contains it.

They are other temp files, created by win & various apps. They can also be
removed via Disk Cleanup
