Your next few Google hits are…

ruby pathname  
ruby recursive delete  
ruby win32 registry  
win32 registry internet explorer cookie path

aaaand put them all together!

Warning: Deleting files which big corporations want you to keep on your  
hard  
drive might get you labeled as a “terrorist” these days…
