When running an operating system as complex as Windows, you may not always know the significance of all the files on your computer. Sometimes Windows uses files for a specific purpose and then retains them in a folder designated for temporary files. Alternatively, you may have previously installed Windows components that you are no longer using. For a variety of reasons, including running out of space on your hard drive, you may want to reduce the number of files on your disk, or create more free space, if it can be done without harming any of your programs.
as john said the temp stands for temprary but it is used to temp download like when click on music download but instead of downloading it to your hard drive u click play instead so it will be downloaded to this folder and after that it will be deleted. another example when you click on program download on the internet but instead of you click save, you click open so it must be loaded to the hard before it could be opened or installed and the temp folder is the place where it is saved before installing or running. it is never used for saving website at all as there is another folder with the name temprary internet files which is used for this purpose.
When you do certain things, like visit an on line site, the computer will set up a temporary folder to hold the info until you are done. I periodically empty mine as the info is useless once you are finished.
TEMP stands for TEMPorary. Now that you've deleted it, simply create it again and all will be fine.
