"""
This script creates a simple text file containing specified content and saves it to the system's temporary directory.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x installed on the system.

Functions:
- create_test_file(content=""): Creates a sample text file with the specified content
(default is "THIS IS A SIMPLE TEXT FILE WE SEND TO THE TEMP DIRECTORY") and saves it to the system's temporary directory.
Returns the path of the created file.
- echo_file_content(file_path): Outputs the content of the specified file to the terminal.

Usage:
1. Save the script as "make_temp.py".
2. Run the script using Python.
3. The script will create a test file in the temporary directory.
4. The content of this file will be output to the terminal.

Additional Notes:
- Not all files will be removed since many are in use by the system and you will need elevated permissions to delete them.
- Be cautious when running scripts that create files in the temporary directory, as they may clutter the system if not handled properly.
