How can one get rid of /windows/temp? It is too hard to delete them in
Windows Explorer.

What about *.tmp, *.chk, and ~*.* files?

Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies,
temp files, auto complete and other junk. In the 'Windows' tab listing check
the item types you want deleted.
Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any
other/additional folders you want files deleted from.

Also available is Windows own 'Disk Cleanup' util. However see below:

Open command prompt and type:
CD %windir%\temp
DEL *.tmp;*chk;~* /f /a /s

Good Luck, Ayush.
