I assume it is safe to delete, but should I do something with it first? Should I for example be kind to Mircosoft and send all that queued stuff? How would I do that?

with Disk Cleanup in Windows 7. As Windows 7 is used it collects lots of files that are not needed like deleted files, web pages, setup logs, temporary files, and all kinds of other stuff. If your computer's hard drive is running out of space, or you want to keep your computer as uncluttered as possible, Disk Cleanup is a great tool in Windows 7 that will quickly an easily remove all the junk for you. Start Disk Cleanup To open Disk Cleanup, click the Start Orb. Click All Programs. Accessories. System Tools. Click Disk Cleanup.

At the top of the Disk Cleanup window it will tell you "You can use Disk Cleanup to free up to X MB of disk space on C:". If you were to check off everything in the Files to delete section you would free up X MBs of hard drive space. Before you check off everything and go on a deleting spree, it helps to know what you're deleting. Note: Not all categories shown below will appear on your computer. This is an exhaustive list of what might appear. Temporary Setup Files: Created by a program when it was being installed. These files are no longer needed and can be removed.

Offline Webpages: Very similar to Temporary Internet Files but Offline Webpages are entire web pages that are deliberately saved on the hard drive for "offline" browsing. Debug Dump Files: Left by Windows after a crash to help fix the problem that caused the crash. Old Chkdsk Files: Saved lost file fragments by the chkdsk tool. These files can be removed.
