Hi Smurf,

Yes the contents of the temp folder can be deleted. It's best to do so
after a reboot.

Anything and everything in the temp directory structure is fair game for
delete. The only exception is immediately after installing any application
that requests a reboot, but after the reboot is complete and the app is
fully installed, you can delete the contents of temp.
