    Yeah, you should be fairly safe to.

    Did you run 'Disk Cleanup'?

    nope,dont know what that is but i noticed the size of the folder so can i just highlight all the files and delete them that way?

    You could.. but Disk Cleanup is a better method of analysing how much space can be freed up.

    Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

    Choose the Drive (presumably 'C:' or 'D:') and click 'OK'. If it's your first time running, it'll probably take a while. Expect even 15 - 20 minutes.

    I wouldn't. Organise the files by date and delete ones that not been altered lately. If ay application is using files without putting a lock on it and you delete it, that could cause problems.
