Windows 7 temp folder

My Windows 7 Temp folder (C:\Windows\Temp) is taking 27.2GB of HD space which I could use. Do I need the stuff in that folder or can I delete it?

You should be able to delete the contents....

Mine was a whole 82Mb in size, with 306 empty directories . . . .

Will be fine to delete, just send them to recycle instead (Just in case . . . . )

delete it all if you get any errors just skip it

Your user temp folder isn't located there by the way

Start, run

%temp%

press enter.

That's your local user temp files, should be totally safe to delete from both folders though.

Run ccleaner slim on your machine to really remove temp files

Also, windows cleanmgr (disk cleanup) can remove things like error report logs etc

temp file is not useful for you so clean temp files
