Hi there people. I have noticed that Windows\System\Temp in my system is huge with all kind of files inside. This is going on my nerves. I suppose that I don’t need these temp files at all. Anyway, there are two folders more for the temp files inside documents and settings, and I know for what they are here. But what about this one? Is it safe to wipe everything inside manually, or ..? Thanks in advance.

Hello. The folder for which you are asking about, is there just because defragmenting feature. When you defrag your hard drive, all of those files will shrink, and automatically there is going to be much less place needed and some free place will be restored. You can delete them manually but, no one can guarantee is defrag process going to be performed well.
