ASP.NET Temporary files cleanup

Question

Can I safely delete the contents of this folder

C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319Temporary ASP.NET Files oot

on a Windows 2003 R2 standard system, given that I am not using IIS (6/7) on it?

If that is the case, could you please point me to the relevant documentation about ASP.NET's runtime and maintenance tasks such as this?

Answer 1

Yes, it's safe to delete these, although it may force a dynamic recompilation of any .NET applications you run on the server.

For background, see the Understanding ASP.NET dynamic compilation article on MSDN.
