Temporary Files:
Windows uses the TEMP folder to store temporary program files. Whenever a user starts any application Windows creates some temp files so that application will run faster and Windows locks that file until the application is closed. This takes a lot of hard drive space, as it does not always get deleted automatically when the application is closed. Selecting this recommended option will delete all the Temporary Files.

When you copy anything using the windows copy / cut command, the information is stored in the memory. That is the clipboard. So in your absence if someone uses the paste command, the same information that may be highly classified would be available to someone else. Use this option to erase the data.
