If you wish, you can delete everything in that folder as it's just temp space. From windows [Vista] click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and type the following:

del C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\*.* /F /S /Q

Then try the Wubi install again.

* If you need an explanation of the command:
'del' is the delete command
'C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\*.*' is the path to the folder with the stuff your deleting, note *.* means all filenames with any file extension
'/F' force-deletes read only files
'/S' tells del to go into any subfolders of this folder
'/Q' suppresses delete confimation
