The teleport folder shouldn't take up any room at all. As soon as the game moves the lot file on load up it should be empty. You need that folder if you ever want to install a lot. I wouldn't know if it's safe or not, but it's probably okay if you don't install lots

I've already installed all my lots. The sims are living in them. If I want a new lot I will go get one to download. I have downloaded and installed many lots. This is what is in my Teleport folder:




Does this mean I accident at some point forgot to place a lot down in a neighborhood? Maybe I fell asleep one night before placing lot?

Yeah, there shouldn't be anything in there after you have installed a lot and run the game. That's an error. You can delete those files without problems though the installation might have borked. You can also delete the folder. You can delete anything in the My Documents set of folders. The game will just make new folders and files as it needs them - what it does is just copy across new copies from the game files. If you delete the lot, it will make a fresh set of folders for itself though doing that will make your game load time longer the next time you run the game.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

That's quite strange. Also a bit concerning, family sims for uplaod?? I hope you haven't got sims somehow in there. The teleport folder is merely a temporary place for downloaded lots. You install a lot and it goes to the teleport folder, you load the game and the game moves it out and it appears in the house bin. You should never have to move a lot out and it has nothing to do with placing it. Any lot that shows up in your house bin has already moved itself out of the teleport folder. As soon as you have loaded your game the teleport folder should read 0 bytes. Just delete all of that.
