Hello,   I am trying to delete the skype temp files.  The files are all part of skype.  Thank you for responding.

Have you stopped Skype from running on your computer? Can you see any Skype.exe process in Windows Task Manager-> Processes tab? Do you receive any error message when trying to delete the temp files?
