The only thing I was wondering was if this 100% is a temporary folder? And if the folder itself is safe to delete or if I should only delete what's inside

It is safe to delete the files inside the Temp folder since all of these are temporary files. These temporary files may also make your system slow down.

The folder didn't use to be there b4 the last update, so I'm assuming its safe to delete the folder in its entirety , correct?

If I shouldn't delete the folder would it be safe to just make it 'hidden' in the windows explorer?
