Clear it out manually. Make sure you can view hidden files and folders.

c:\docs&settings\username\localsettings\temp delete it all

Clear your browser cache as well, whether it be IE/Mozilla/Opera.

That's pretty much all you can do for temp space.

Can turn off System Restore, unless you want it.
