Is it safe to delete temp files

Temporary files are the application’s file which are saved in the temp folder. And it is safe to delete the temporary files if you do not have unsaved data. As for me, I delete my temp files, but it never creates a problem for me. You can find your temporary files by going into the run and typing %temp% and you will get all the temporary files in your system. You can also check from there how much space they have eaten of your hard disk. And you can also remove those all the files by selecting all and then deleting them.
