You couldn't post a step by step of how to do that could you?
You know, simple like .....
Please....
OK here goes...
From the desktop double-click on "My Computer" - you should see a window open with a list of your disk drives (C: D: etc.)
Double-click on the C: drive - this will display the contents of your main drive which typically stores all of your 'system' files and folders.
Double-click on the folder labelled "Documents and Settings" - this will display the contents of the folder "Documents and Settings"
The folders displayed will depend on how you log onto your PC. If separate accounts have been set up then there will be a named folder for each account. (It may be that there is no specific folder for you but there will be a folder named "Administrator" - this will more than likely be your folder.)
Double-click on the folder labelled with your account name (or Administrator) - this will display folders and files specific to that account.
Now it gets complicated - sorry.
If you cannot see a folder named "Local Settings" then 'hidden files and folders' can not be seen. You need to switch this function on. To do this you need to select "Folder Options" from the Tools menu (Tool bar). Then select the 'View' tab. You will be presented with a screen which shows what configuration has been set for your machine. One option is to hide hidden files and folders. Select "Show hidden files and folders". Then click on OK.
To see the hidden stuff you will probably have to exit the explorer screen then repeat most of the above to see the 'Local Settings' folder.
Double-click on the 'Local Settings' folder - displayed will be its contents, one of which will be the 'Temp' folder.
Right-click (right hand mouse button) on the 'Temp' folder and select 'Properties' - this will display the size of the folder and its contents. It indicates how much hard drive space is being used by this folder. Click on cancel to close the Properties dialog.
Now double-click on the 'Temp' folder to see its contents.
Click on the 'Date Modified' column header and it will sort the list by date. Once sorted you can select and delete each file and folder with a date earlier than the current date. If you cannot delete a file or folder it will probably be because Windows is using it. Move on to the next file/folder.
***************************
Now the warning.
By showing hidden files and folders you are displaying system files and folders that can effect the running of your computer.
DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO DELETE OR MODIFY ANY FILES OR FOLDERS OUTSIDE OF THE
TEMP FOLDER. I HOLD NO RESONSIBILTY FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAN DO.

Hope this helps.
Good luck
