The "T" is short for "Temporary". This is your Temporary Items folder. Each application that has a file in that folder is supposed to delete it by the time it quits, so a restart (or even a logout/login) should completely empty the folder. (The "16/jfb809_s2fz01ql7k494f6pc0000gn" part of the name is how "your" is spelled.) If it's still not empty on a restart, everything it contains will be moved to a "Recovered Items" folder in your trash. The easiest and safest way to empty the folder is to simply restart.
But you're right that deleting the folder out from under running apps will confuse them, spawning a slew of very similar "requested file cannot be found" messages.
I would try, in order:
- quit/restart Xcode
- log out/ log in
- restart
and not mess with folders at all.
