    While searching for a Font File I came across a surprise that I'm not sure is normal or a big space hog. My folder C:\WINNT\Temp has hundreds of .TMP folders. Most are empty, but some have files or sub-folders with files. Creation dates range from 5/2004 to today (8/8/2006).

    I ran Disk Cleanup and they remain. Is there a reason for this. Can/should the folders be deleted? I was always under the impression that any .TMP file or folder can be deleted.

    :confused:

    The temp files and folders at these locations can safely be deleted, with the exception of the odd few which are currently in use .....

    C:\Windows (WINNT)\Temp

    and the User temp files ....

    Start > Run > type in %temp% > OK
