_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function removes distributed files from a special path at the
     disk at all slaves in a computer cluster.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     removeDistributedFiles(cluster, path=tempdir(), verbose = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 cluster: A cluster object obtained from the function makeCluster in
          the 'SNOW' package. 

    path: A 'character' that defines which path (inclusive files)
          should be removed at every slave. Default: tempdir() 

 verbose: A logical value. If 'TRUE' it writes out some messages.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function removes distributed files from a special path at the
