Exactly, if you did the RUU and are back to stock, there are no files to remove. You haven't written any files to the phone yet because you don't have access.
So, you should be able to do either the SimpleRoot method or follow the instructions in post #1 for your appropriate version.

I'm hoping you just tried the wrong SimpleRoot method. For your phone, you need to use this version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565

If that's the one you tried and couldn't get it to work, I'm not sure you'll be able to do it through this tutorial either. SimpleRoot automatically does what this tutorial has you do manually. The steps are the same but the only difference is SimpleRoot does them all for you.

If you want to try doing it the manual method, follow Section 5 in Post #1.
