Absolutely, actually you should be clearing them every now and again. You will more than likely lose stored passwords hat allow you to automatically sign in but you can just set it up again and you'll be good as new. Sometimes certain sites leave unwanted files on your computer so like I mentioned before, you should clear the temporary internet files quite frequently. YOu can delete them all at once by opening an internet page going to tools/ internet options/ and pressing the "Delete Files" button. My Documents" folder. Cheers!

Hi
yeah its perfectly allrite to delete temporary internet files and rather you can delete it from internet options wich is an easy way then opening all the folders. In your Internet Explorer open Tools and then Internet options, their you can select clear History, Delete files and most important the Delete cookies.
hope this will help you
take care!!!

If a file has the extension ".tmp" then deleting it is safe. You can use the Tools menu on your browser to do this as well; go to Tools>Internet Options and choose the "Delete Files" button. If it's been a while since you did this, it can take several minutes, but that's ok.

Yes, you should do this every once in a while just like you delete your cookies. Keeps your comp running faster and smoother. I delete both at least once a week.
Click on the tools menu for you web browser. Then click internet options. clickk on the general tab. Then click on delete files. This will dump your temp internet files.

Yes according to my brother it is best to dump your temp internet files periodically. It's what they call dumping your cookies
