Can i do this to my computer without harming it?

Question

okay so can i delete my temporary internet files folder?

my question is can i delete the folder without removing any important programs, i know i didnt put any there but what is in the folder exactly?

it looks like this

C:\Documents and Settings\SANDRA\Local Settings\temp

Answer 1

Do NOT delete the folder. The files can be deleted, but you should let your virus software do this, any other access to the virused file may activate it and get it into the rest of the machine.

Answer 2

To be frank, YES. Delete it all away. And get rid of the virus. But go back afterwards and make a new folder and title it the same as this one. That way you'll be sure that everything still runs well.

Good luck,
