Not sure why you’re doing this. It’s unnecessary and doesn’t actually catch the kind of issues that prevent upgrades.

Probably ok

Might end up leaving you with some missing packages, but ok.

You just deleted all the files you just downloaded. A complete waste of time and bandwidth. No wonder it didn’t work.
