How to remove .temp files?

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of alerting a co-worker who placed the head of the CEO onto a cockroaches body because they didn't know about program's cache files.

Your co-worker (if the definition of "work" can be stretched to cover what he was doing) would probably have been a lot better off "working" somewhere else and learning a useful lesson, and his boss would undoubtedly have been better off without him. So your educational efforts prevented a mutually beneficial parting of the ways.

...and catch any program or OS X caches in the process...

...thereby slowing down the very processes that caches exist to speed up.

Actually the guy was new and quite a asset and hard to replace, thus he felt he could cross the line a bit and thought (mistakenly) what he did on his own time was his business and couldn't be traced.

Turns out he became best friends of the CEO once he understood the reason we were still in business was because the CEO was a penny pinching cockroach and always tried to find alternatives to spending money.

If I told the CEO of course he would have been fired on the spot, but I've realized that everyone has had that opinion of the boss when they first drive up, but they come to the realization later they rather have have some pain and be in buisness than not in buisness at all.

Caches get deleted, but OS X immediatly rebuilds them on recent data, not on stuff that occured ages ago in the slim chance it will be used again.

OS X comes by default with empty caches, and as a user uses the machine the cache files increase to speed up the machine, however they could contain data the user would rather forget.

You of course alrady know this, why you have such a hostility to people having the ability to clean their machine is beyond me.

As always, the best way to avoid leaving a trail of slime behind you is not to wade in the gutter. If you do that, sooner or later you'll forget to mop up after yourself (or won't do it soon enough) and someone will spot the trail of slime and know where you've been.
