"Temporary" internet files

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

Can someone give me a quick overview of the "Temporary" Internet Files
(that stick around for years) and sub-directories that are safe to delete?
What do filenames such as "[20]" refer to? Can all those just be dumped
without consequences? If not, why are they "temporary"?

TIA

Neil
