    Using Disk Cleanup I deleted Temporary Internet files and Temp files.
    However, running XYplorer I find both those folders still contain numerous files (folder sizes 120MB and 9MB respectively).
    Why doesn't Disk Cleanup delete all files?
    Is it safe to delete them using (say) XYplorer?
    Thanks

    Yes. CCleaner is a good tool and I use it regularly, but it doesn't completely clean all the temp directories as good as TFC though.
