temp file?

[Hy]

Should I delete all files in my following folder? C:\Documents and
Settings\home\Local Settings\Temp
It has like 400 MB, 1000+ files that have .tmp extension.

Any way like write a batch file and use it will automatic delete all files
end in .tmp in my C:\Documents and Settings\HH\Local Settings\Temp\*.tmp

?
I know there is away, but I can't do it with the space in the folder name
(C:\Documents<space> and<space>Settings\HH\Local<space>Settings\Temp)

Yes, XP will not allow you to delete anything that shouldn't be deleted at
this point in time.

Why? That's what Disk Cleanup is for.

Yes. They can, and should be, deleted periodically. You can
safely delete anything except those in use, but since Windows
won't let you delete a file in use, it's safe to try to delete
them all.

Just don't delete them automatically as soon as you boot. That
can screw up program installations that work in two steps--the
first step ending by saving temp files and rebooting; the second
step needing to find those temp files when the boot completes.

Sure, that's fine.
