No, they are temporary files so they would go away, anyway. I think it is impossible even with a program.

yes someone can. on windows there are hidden folders that stores every file you view on the internet including what you download. that includes files you download off of p2p programs. normal deleting what is in temporary internet files don't get rid of them. what you see in the temprary internet files folder is not actualy in that folder. just go into the temprary internet files folder on your computer and type&#92;content.ie5 in the address bar after everything else that is there. do not delete anything else that is in the address bar  click go and you will be taken to that folder. from there you will see subfolders that you are able to delete. but still there is a file that is stored listing all the pages that you have been to and you can not just delete that it will say something like you can not delete it because it is in use. you have to delete that from outside of windows. or a easy way is to assign a new folder as your temprary internet files folder and you can delete everything. none of this matters because you can recover any file that is deleted nothing is actualy deleted phisically from the drive. you will need a program to do that and still it wll only make it harder but not impossible but most people just give up on trying if it to hard.

Yes, it is "safe" to delete these files. Many times, Disk Cleanup does not recover everything. The only problem that deleting these TEMPorary files is that--as was said before me--software puts files here to assist in un/installating of programs and such, and if you attempt to re-install these programs, they will take a bit longer. But the fact of the matter is that many times these files are useless and take up space unnecessarily after installation...\n\nShucks, even more common is the fact that these files aren't ever used again even if you do reinstall a program, for the script that is run when you click "Setup" or "Install" will extract all of these files again anyway. It would be nice if programmers gave you an option, which would make these temp files more useful, but hey, when I reinstall my programs, I like for all of the files to be fresh from the cabinet!\n\nGo for it, partner... \n\nHope this helps...

That sounds like a temp file for a DVD image or some very large program.  It's fine to delete it.

You could delete all your temporary internet files. Delete any programs and documents, pictures and anything you dont need or want or use. If you do need or want to use them, you could transfer themto a CD sothat way your computer is empty. Remember to delete your temp. internet files and cookies. When you've done all that, run a defrag. (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter) Then, restart your computer and see if it helps.
