Remove 'crap' set by The PC Decrapifier

When using The PC Decrapifier, the program places some info in C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Local Settings\Temp.
It can be assumed that many of the users will not clean out their temporary files. So, these files should be removed (even if it only uses a few kb's) because we shouldn't be putting crap on a computer with a name like The PC Decrapifier.
The best way to do that is probably during 'Finish'. You hit 'Finish' and the program cleans out the temp files, then actually finishes.
I think your argument is
I think your argument is almost a philosophical one, and I see your point and agree on a philosophical level but lets not abuse Jason by having him do things that in reality are completely unnecessary. Those files have absolutely no effect on the user's experience. Let's be grateful that there are people that do these kinds of things for free in the middle of their busy schedules.
I surely am.
Temp Files
Yes, these files are necessary for the feedback mechanism. I can't quite delete them when the program completes, because some people run the program multiples times so it is necessary to retain them short term.
I would hardly justify calling these temp files crap. Placing these type of files in the temp folder is standard practice and would more than be considered to be 'playing by the rules.'
You're quite correct in
You're quite correct in saying that crap isn't the right word for temp file. That's why I put the word between brackets.
If you agree with me that the temp file should be removed, would an extra button in PC Decrapifier be an option. Like 'Remove Temp files set by PC Decrapifier'?
Just a thought.
