That would only be temporary. I hear /tmp gets erased every time you reboot. I 
don't know though, I don't reboot all that often, and when I do I never think 
to check.

pfred1@buck:/tmp$ du -h

Doesn't look too important to me. Not going to get a whole lot of disk space 
out of removing it all either. /var on the other hand can grow fairly large, 
and just deleting it isn't smart.
