Can I delete private/var/vm? What can I delete from the private directory?

What is this folder? It’s huge and I can use the extra room. I’ve read sleepimage isn’t necessary—is this true? Should I just deal with it? Is the “private” folder emptied automatically, or would I have to do it manually? If it isn’t useful (or needed), is there any way to prevent it from reappearing in the future?
