I have a shortcut on my desktop that points to a .vbs file that I run to clean
up my Temp folder.

spake thusly:

I don't know of any problems that would be caused by files in
the Recycle bin.

I suggest the problem may have been that the system partition was
nearly full.

But too many files in the windows temp folder can cause trouble.

I don't know of any newsgroups that are dedicated to Batch files.
But you may find some web sites that still offer tips.

Here's one I use about weekly that I made a while ago. It does
rely on the DOS executable "DELTREE", which is not standard with
Windows XP but which can be found in earlier Microsoft releases
and used just fine with XP as well. I put the DELTREE.EXE in
my command path before executing this batch file, which I named
"RM_TMP.BAT":

------------------ start cut here ------------------
@echo off

%SystemDrive%
cd %TEMP%

dir /l /od *tmp | find /i ".tmp"

del *.tmp nul
deltree /y *.tmp nul

pause
------------------ end cut here ------------------

Here, I'll run it now; it's been a couple of days, anyway:
