Re: %temp% question

Hello,

The best and safest way to get rid of the temporary files is to run the disk
cleanup utility from Start/All Programs/Accessories/System tools.

By typing "%temp%" in the Run window, we get "all" the temporary files in
the computer, I was told (is that correct? All the temporary files,
including any necessary temporary Window files?).
I get a lot of yellow folders and things inside each one of these folders.
Some of the yellow folders have familiar names, like the one from "Adobe",
for instance, but some others have unfamiliar name codes or numbered names
that I don't what they are.

My question:

Can I selet "all" these folder and do I delete these yellow folders in
their entirety? Is that safe? Or do I delete what is inside each of the
the folders, and leave the yellow folders empty there?
(For example, I get there an "Adobe" folder with temporary files. Do I
delete the entire folder without opening it or I am supposed to delete
what resides indside that folder only and leave the "Adobe" folder there
empty?)
What is the correct procedure?
Thanks in advance.
