No it wont until you force a delete for file in use. You can delete the whole folder if none of the files inside is being used by a program.

And its a folder not a file .

By it's very name you should really guess that it's only for temporary data. There are several such folders, all of which can be safely emptied and deleted. If a program needs data in one of them, it'll hold a lock on the particular file, and you won't be able to delete it.

Put simply, if it's in a Temp folder, and it isn't locked, you can do anything you want with it.
