I have this "TMP" folder on my second drive :
And inside of it, there are a lot of strange files :
Can I delete this folder safely? Because some files are new from today in it (13 GB), so I don't know if it's a Windows thing

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.
I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.
This is a temporary folder, some software creates this folder in the installation or update process. Yes, it's safe to delete temporary files from Windows. Most of the time, they'll be deleted automatically, if they're not, you can go in and delete them yourself without any worries.
