yea, don't use terminal to delete temp files
use Safe Mode to delete system caches
Try safe mode if your Mac doesn't finish starting up - Apple Support
use safari to clean out Safari Caches
Safari>Preferences/Advanced
enable "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
go to the develop drop down and select Empty Caches
