Default Advice regarding a strange MS-DOS Batch File

Recently the HR Block tax program installed a pdf printer. It works fine and
created pdfs of my returns. Here's my question. The install left a batch
file in C/ Program Files. Its title is "temp995." I've never seen such a
file in that folder before and wonder if it's just an "orphan." Could it be
deleted--or perhaps "run"? Here's the text of the file:

:again
del "C:\Program Files\pdf995\res\utilities\thinsetup.exe"
if exist C:\Program Files\pdf995\res\utilities\thinsetup.exe goto again
rmdir /Q "C:\Program Files\pdf995\res\utilities"
rmdir /Q "C:\Program Files\pdf995\res"
rmdir /Q "C:\Program Files\pdf995"
rmdir /Q C:\Program Files\pdf995
del "C:\Program Files\temp995.bat"

If I read the last line correctly, the file in question should have been
deleted after the install was completed.
Any advice will be appreciated.
