Ports cannot be "deleted". Your statement is meaningless. If you mean
that you either "closed" them in your router firewall by deleting or
deactivating the RDR and/or NAT rules regarding those ports on your computer,
then that means something. Likewise, if you meant to say that you shut down
the program(s) listening on those ports, that also means something, but it
means something different from doing something on your router firewall.

You ran PC Flank, which reported that your system appeared to be okay, so
shut down tor. I guess I don't understand what problem you're asking about.
