your question would be answered by checking your environmental variables concerning the temp variable. That temp folder is the one usually used by windows but you can edit the temp variable to point where ever you want.

If a temp file is open you will get a message about not being able to delete the temp file. No big deal.

The big temp folder you want to track is temorary internet files.

Don't forget to defrag your drive regularly to keep your system optimal.

Generally you can safely delete any files in the temp folder other than files currently in use. I delete them regularly without any problems.
