Can you safely delete all files in /tmp?
Only if they're not in use. You can configure the system to
periodically clean out the files of a certain age.
openned files can't be deleted, even by root. So a
su
cd /tmp && rm -R *
should be safe (I do this regularly).
However it is possible that an application close a temp file and try
to open it again (in my opinion a poor idea). If you are the only user
of that PC, close all your apps before and go, on muliuser one, I
wouldn't do that
