Thank you.  I believe that in this case the error lies with pointyhat. 
According to the build logs of accessx, the extra files that are not 
deleted are actually files installed by tk82.

accessx is extremely catholic in its requirements for which version of 
tk it needs.  This might be confusing pointyhat.
