By convention, temporary files are in /tmp (sometimes /var/tmp). You can
delete them as you would any other file, using "rm ...".

Any of the graphical file managers.

Be sure you understand the consequences of deleting temporary files
before doing so, as there's no easy way to undelete files in Linux.
