They are temporary location and are safe to delete it.
Not sure what happens last time and I believe it might be due to other issues.
It keeps files which could be deleted later on.
In case you are not sure about cleaning them, you may try run Disk Cleanup which is a safe way to remove all unnecessary files from your system.
Both of these, temp and disc cleanup made my computer black screen, do you have any idea why?
Update: just deleted every single %temp% file and no harm caused to the computer
keep in mind:
disc cleanup might be not recommended
Not sure, running the Disk cleanup is safe and in general you should look into the event viewer to investigate what caused this issue.
Glad your issue have been solved.
