Can files in C:\WINDOWS\Temp be deleted and does Disk Cleanup do so?

Can files in C:\WINDOWS\Temp be deleted and does Disk Cleanup do so? It appears that files which currently aren't in use can be safely deleted from the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder... Why doesn't Disk Cleanup offer to do this automatically?

"I usually delete all files that have been created before the last reboot of the computer.
If it's too long, I keep files created the last 3 or 4 days and delete the others. If some are locked because they're in use, no problem as they won't be deleted."
