temp folder help

[STUART]

my Anti-Virus seems to scan this from what used to be 20 mins to now over 1 hour does this mean as it says "temporary folder" that i can delete the contents as when im watching the anit-virus scan it all seems to be ebay stuff
if i delete all the contents of the folder will this affect the running of my computer or is it just trash that should be deleted

cheers
