I'm running Win98 and often I delete Temporary Internet Files via the Tools | Internet Options. When I checked Windows Explorer after running that option recently I had loads of folders each comprising a combination of 8 letters and numbers as sub-directories of Content.IE5, which was a sub-directory of Temporary Internet Files.
Can I safely just delete all those number/letter folders and their contents seeing as they seem to be more temporary internet files?

This will bring up all .tmp files. Delete them all.
Win 98 was a ****** for not deleting temp files and eventually would clutter up your system. I recently cleaned a friends computer (which had never been cleaned!) and removed 800mb of temp files!
The files I'm referring to are in the various sub-directories of 'Temporary Internet Files' each with folder names of mixed letters and numbers. At present I have 61 of these such folders each of which average around 14Mb of files of various types - .gif, .js, .swf, .php, .htm, .cab, .css etc etc.
I make a point of regularly deleting the *.tmp files as you suggest KebabMeister, but I guess I should take the bull by the horns as Thunderchild suggests and just delete the lot - then grab them out of recycle bin if needed!!
Thanks for suggestions anyway.
