Multiple Temporary Files in Windows Directory

Copper Contributor

The Windows folder on my C drive is filled with temporary files. There are two specific folders that house these files:

 

Windows\System32\SysWOW64\temp_file_A

Windows\System32\temp_file_A

 

The total size of all temporary files is 87.9 MB, with each of the folders occupying 33.8 GB. Interestingly, both folders contain files with identical names. These files appear to be encrypted or encoded as they are unreadable once accessed. The temporary files were generated in January and February of the current year.

 

Given these details, I am inquiring if it is safe to remove these temporary files from my system.
