If you create the temp files in the temp folder, then Windows will clean
up eventually.

you could start the diff viewer directly (TortoiseMerge).

No, sorry.

However:
TortoiseProc automatically deletes all files that are in the temp folder
and are
* match the filename mask "*svn*.*"
* are older than one day

so if you create your temp files accordingly, TortoiseProc will clean
them up as well after a day.
