TEMP FOLDER

Hello Denmarfl,

Yes, it is safe to delete these files as long as you are not in the
middle of installing anything.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

CCleaner will look there and delete what is allowed.

Not on it's own it won't. You have to tell it to, using advanced
settings.

As for what is allowed, CCleaner doesn't make that decision, the OS
does. Anything that's in use won't be deleted.

I have "never" had to set up the file delete from this folder using the
advanced settings. CCleaner just touches it automatically.

The only advanced setting I change is to remove the check from the box that
say to hold the files for 48 hours before deleting. This is global across
all folders that are included in the CCleaner search for deleteable files.
