Please use the following method to remove those temporary files.
1. Press "Windows" and "R" keys simultaneously on your keyboard.
All of the folders and files you see in this Temp folder are no longer being used by Windows and can safely be deleted.
To delete these items, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.

Tips:
My laptop uses Windows XP; there are a lot of free and paid utilities that will clear only temporary files for you; Glary is a good free program, while Norton is a good one you have to buy. They will both fix other problems, such as Windows Registry errors. i have and use both; sometimes, one finds a file the other one missed.
For Windows XP:
Click Start>>Run and Type %temp% and press Enter
Delete all the files you see in the window
For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Click on Start/Windows Logo then in Search type %temp% and press Enter
Delete all the files you see in the window

Disk cleanup works on the basis that it is cleaning up old or unnecessary files. One of the sectors that it cleans is the temporary internet files. To do this, it simply goes to the temporary internet files folder that can be accessed from Microsoft internet explorer by clicking on tools - going to internet options.
