I believe that's mostly it, but there are smaller steps that may be
important inbetween, like doing `chflags' on /usr/obj/* before removing
the files - all this is in the manual, though. The steps outlined
above are in the handbook - in that order. Take another look at the
handbook and if you still have problem reply with specific issues.
