311036 2005-01-05 23:14:00 Could someone please tell me the purpose of the directory c:/Documents and Settings/[username]/Local Settings/Temp ...? (using Win XP Home). This appears to hold copies of files which I thought I had deleted some ago. What prompts these copies to be stored in this directory, and is it safe to delete the contents ...?
Thanks

They are usually safe to delete.
