Default Disk Cleanup files discarded by windows upgrade quesion.

I had to do a repair on my vista because something after an install messed it all up. After the install I went into the disk cleanup and it shows 5.67 GB to discard if I want. How can I tell what is in there to discard? I don't want to get rid of anything I need. At this time I can't seem to find anything missing but I have so much stuff it will take a while to notice I guess. Anyone?

It should display it by categories what the files are in regards to. There is no way to tell exactly what every file is unless you wish to go thru your temp folders yourself.
