Sure, you can delete them, but the real question is "should you"?
They will get recreated when the pages are hit, as they are cached native
compiles, amongst other things. So the answer to "should" is no.
I would look for other files to delete or add a new drive and migrate the
site over to that drive (copy and then point the application to the new
virtual directory). This will, at least, move your IIS information over. If
you have SQL on the box, consider moving data files and log files to another
drive or moving SQL to another machine prior to deleting temp files.
How big is the drive on this machine and what do you have installed? I am
sure you can find something less critical to delete.

On my development machine, I often delete all folders/files under

has not caused me any trouble til now.
So now we have a production server and the system disk is running out of
space soon. I need to some files to make space. And I found the Temporary
ASP.NET Files folder contains hundres of megabytes of files. I want to delete
them all, but I am afraid of any unwanted results to happen to the production
server.
Please tell me if it is totally safe to delete all those files?
