    Hi @Atharva Jagtap ,

    basically deleting the content of a temp folder should not have a negativ effect if the temp folder is used properly just for storing temporary files by users or apps. No one should save important files in a temp folder.

    But as always: Deleting files is on your own risk.

    Hello,

    In most situations, temp files can be deleted. However, it is advisable to backup it to another driver before deleting it.

    Yes, you can delete them. The ones in use will need to remain.
