<h3>Tidying up after installation</h3>
<p/>There’s not usually a lot to do after you’ve completed the steps
above — indeed, if you’re merely installed files direct from the
archive, or whatever, there will be precisely nothing left, by way of
debris.
<p/>Things you might care to clean up are:
<ul>
<li> the archive file, if you retrieved your data from the archive
as a <code>.zip</code> file, or the like;
<li> the <code>.dtx</code> and <code>.ins</code> files, if you chose not
to install them with the documentation; and
<li> the <code>.aux</code>, <code>.log</code>, <code>.idx</code>, etc.,
from building the documentation.
</ul>
A simple way of achieving all this is to download to a working
directory that was created for the purpose, and then to delete that
directory and all its contents after you’ve finished installing.
