Function of "Temp" Folder
What is the function of this folder? (TEMP under WIN/PROG
FILES) If it's temp, why are there still old and expired files in the folder? Can I delete them? What type of information is stored in this folder?

Function of "Temp" Folder
A poorly-behaved installer might not delete the files it puts there, or any
installation that was in progress when the system crashed or was restarted would leave leftover files. These files can safely be deleted but do restart the computer first to ensure that any install in-progress is completed first. -- Richard G.
