Temporary Internet Files

Having today run a malware software programme, I discover that the majority of the files suggested to delete came from the Temporary Internet Files.

Is it a naive suggestion that I should regularly delete all files in this area? What might the results be to such action?

Many of us use CCleaner to delete our Temporary Internet Files.

I clear them once every week before running Malwarebytes and then my Anti Virus, which is MSE. All these programs are free to the private individual but not to businesses.
