Yes.

It depends.

No.

Yes

Only if they cause you to run out of disk space.

A "clean" system has only:

\Desktop
\Maintenance Desktop
\Nowhere

If things like:

\Temporary Desktop1
\Nowhere2

exist, they are indications of WPS failures that were not handled cleanly
by the user.

Good plan. You can always restore the Desktop if this causes problems.
It should not.

Regards,

Steven
