Default question on temp files

I have 3 folders in my windowstemp file that are in
question. The 3 files are "temporary internet
files", "cookies" & "history". When I try to delete them,
the system tells me "that that each folder is a system
folder. If I delete them, Windows or another program may
no longer work correctly".
I do have each individual folder in windows.

My question is, can I delete them in the temp file?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, PJ

Default question on temp files

Reboot first before attempting to delete files and folders in your Temp folder
(by default C:\Windows\Temp). Note that by default cookies are more normally
stored in C:\Windows\Cookies and the TIF is located at C:\Windows\Temporary
Internet Files.
