can i delete the files in my temp in C:\Windows\Temp ???

Hi Jackson Snodgrass,

yes you can.

Microsoft documentation generally supports safe deletion of files in C:\Windows\Temp, with a few caveats:

Files not in use can be deleted without issue.

Some files may be locked by active processes—these should be skipped.

Admin rights are often required to delete system-level temp files.

Scheduled cleanup tools like Disk Cleanup or Storage Sense handle this automatically.
