ASP.NET Temporary files cleanup

Can I safely delete the contents of this folder

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root

on a Windows 2003 R2 standard system, given that I am not using IIS (6/7) on it?

If that is the case, could you please point me to the relevant documentation about ASP.NET's runtime and maintenance tasks such as this?

Yes, it's safe to delete these, although it may force a dynamic recompilation of any .NET applications you run on the server.

For background, see the Understanding ASP.NET dynamic compilation article on MSDN.
