Should I do this deletion??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have XP Home.

I remember a suggestion to go to START/RUN/%TEMP% and then to delete all
files found in there.

I have about 800 files there (almost all .tmp files but some other folders
as well -- ADOBE, VBE, and a couple of others).

Can I safely delete these files??

(Perhaps I should first empty the recycle bin, then delete the files, and I
can then restore them from the recycle bin if there is a problem).

Also, is this a large number of files and is my computer likely to be more
"perky" after such a deletion?
