yes....they only store information so that it will be eaier to load the page next time....but too much can probably slow down your computer.

You won't lose Yahoo!, you'll just have to login in with your password again.
Sometimes it is a good idea to delete all temporary Internet files. Make sure to check the box to delete all offline content too. To do this go to (in Internet Explorer) Tools, Options and click on the "Delete Files" button. Make sure to check the box to delete all offline content. You can also delete cookies as well.
Sometimes it helps things like Launchcast radio to run better by cleaning out these files. And don't worry, they are called temporary for a reason. ;)

By all means delete them!! They slow down your system. They are only there in case you wanted to go back to a site and it would load faster. So, you won't hurt anything by doing that. And no, if you delete the cookies (which is a string code so a website know who your computer is) you will not lose Yahoo. All cookies are not bad. All aren't good either. Some sites need cookies for ID purposes. Sooooo, delete away!!!! ;o)

yes it is, deleting temporary internet files or cookies will not effect anything....It only stores the images and banners of the websites temporary so that next time you visit the website...the images will be taken from your computer.....which makes your browsing faster.....if you want to clear your tracks then you can delete them.....Cookies on the other hand are like identify your login ....which on deleting causes no harm....
And you WONT loose yahoo on deleting cookies....
Hope this answers your query....

Yes and No. You can safely delete temp files and cookies. These just make it easier for your browser to find the same pages faster later. No, yahoo will be fine!

Nope, you will just need to re-log in to yahoo. You could delete them all except Yahoo so it wouldn't effect anything you are doing. Deleting cookies is recommended and safer for you than leaving them.

Temporary files do not hold any data which affect your web browser - its just data items to recall a user's settings from visiting sites.

yes it is safe--i clean my system about 1ce a week--it helps free up space and makes the system run better--
when deleting, there is always a warning or description of what will happen when you do --read it and then decide

Yes, they are temporary and get deleted periodically anyway!

Yes, its safe to delete. nothing will be lost. only thing is you may have to reenter some passwords for security based purposed when you go to log in at certian sities. (e.g. yahoo, gmail, hotmail, exc.)
