If I delete something on the Temporary files manually just to save space during running time.
and it does not pop up any error on the translation log.
can I trust that the data that I have would be correct?
by right, if FME would be able to identify missing files it created on the temporary folder. thus the theory that it would be safe?
any thoughts guys? thanks in advance!

If space is an issue, you can also consider putting the FME temp files on a different drive (a fast one with enough free space obviously). There's a good article on how to do that here: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/176/fme-temp-environment-variable.html
I'm not sure I think it's a good idea to manually delete temporary files during translation. At least I would be very careful about checking all the logs for warnings etc.
There is also this option, which should be safe:

It's safe to delete files *after* translation - sometimes FME fails to clean up after itself. But during translation can easily lead to things going very wrong.
