Since TemporaryFolder is a TestRule, you use it together with the @Rule annotation. From the Javadoc:

public static class HasTempFolder {
    @Rule
    public TemporaryFolder folder = new TemporaryFolder();

    @Test
    public void testUsingTempFolder() throws IOException {
        File createdFile = folder.newFile("myfile.txt");
        File createdFolder = folder.newFolder("subfolder");
        // ...
    }
}

or if you would like to specify the location:

File baseFolder = new File("C:\BASE_FOLDER");
@Rule
public TemporaryFolder folder = new TemporaryFolder(baseFolder);
