Hi Fritz,

Leave well alone. These are system created variables that are present in every account on the machine (including administrative accounts). They are there to redirect temporary files (as used in downloads and installation routines, as well as others) to the correct file location. Some routines use the location 'tmp' and others 'temp'. By using environment variables, both are relocated to the same location. You can, of course, create other variables (with care) to point to the same location, but it is NOT advisable to delete any that are created automatically by your system when you create a user account.
