It is safe to delete them all. They are files that are no longer used. Setup log is used to find a problem during install. Dump files have been dumped, and temp files are used until programs are installed or permanent files are written. They are not by default deleted, but are now totally useless.

Vicki. There is no reason to get them back. If they are not present, all the better. Just something you don't have to delete. ;)
