First off, please be informed that "regtrans", as the word suggests, refers to REGistry TRANSactions performed by Windows whenever settings changes are made to the system. For safety purposes (and to permit possible rollback should errors occur) Windows dynamically creates these *temporary*regtrans files until the settings changes are written permanently to the NTuser.dat file. Running a System Restore also generates these files.

If you note the sizes of the files in question, you will see that they do not occupy much disk space. Therefore, my advice is to leave them alone. While, I *think* it would be safe to delete those that were created before a successful shutdown-and-restart (by which time, Windows would have written the contents of those temporary files to the permanent NTuser.dat file) , I am not 100% certain that there may not be a future use for them.

Therefore, IMO, since they do not cause any problems or use significant amounts of space, let them live their little lives in peace.
