that will only move them to the recycle bin, which you'll then need to empty.

the easier way is substitute step d for "press Shift-Del".  this deletes 
files directly.

just delete anything in Temp that it'll let you delete.  if it lets you 
delete it, it wasn't being used, and if it wasn't being used, it was 
wasting space.
