I always delete EVERYTHING from that folder and have never run into any problems because of it. It can get pretty cluttered if you dont pay attention to it. Go ahead, wipe that puppy clean :D :D :D :D.

It is usually safe to dump the crap in that folder. I do it every day or so. Just don't dump it while running an app that is using it at the moment! At worst, the next task in that app will result in a program crash etc. Many of the graphics apps use the temp folder as well as some install programs that are used toload new software, including anti-virus updates. After a reboot, anything is safe to delete from there.
