They're all safe to delete. No operating system or application files are installed to the temp folder. You can safely delete them all (though you may find that some thaht were created that day are still in use and can't be deleted- no big deal).

Any or all files can be deleted from the Temp folder,it is a folder to hold temporary files that you may have used from the internet or downloads,which you would want to refer to at later time.
