Best practice to delete /dbfs/tmp ?

What is best practice regarding the tmp folder? We have a very large amount of data in that folder and not sure whether to delete, back up etc?

/dbfs/tmp can contain a lot of files including temporary system files used for intermediary calculations or other sub directories which can contain packages of user defined installations. It is always better to backup the files.
