I have 1,400 temp files in;

C;\windows\$ntservicepackuninstall$ in blue color
c:\windows\appPatch
c:\windows\ime
C:\windows\installer
C:\windows\fonts
c:windows\system32

files like:
set514.tmp
set120eb.tmp
msi26.tmp
ren14.tmp

All of these are safe to remove???

Thanks

Now see how many .TMP files remain.
