Wonder about disk cleanup. I would like to know what I'm deleting

Does disk cleanup scared me... Let's face it, I need a pc for Dummies book to explain.   If I clean the tiles do they disappear from the folers I in or do they just disappear somewhere in windows

also when I did the scan I get the list of what needs to be cleaned and how much space will be cleaned up but when I click to see the files it said file is empty... very confusing...

I guess what I'm asking is that I don't know what are these files, that I look like offline web pages... temp internet files and I can't find an explanation anywhere... I want to know what I'm deleting...

Thank you
