Win 2K Profiles

I noticed with windows 2000 there is a folder in each users profile that logs onto the PC called temp, which is found under the users log in name under a folder called local settings\temp.
I have found that this folder for some people has been 400MEG in size. I dont want to delete the contents until I am sure hat this is like the C:\temp folder in Windows NT, and can it be moved out of the users profile?
