Hi Shalom. That seems like the long way around doing it. If you clear the data from the node then add it back in then you will have to restream and recompact the data again for each node. Is there a particular reason why you would need to do it this way?
The way we do it is to update Cassandra on each node as per the steps Ben linked to. Once all nodes are on the newer version you can run upgradesstables. If you have a large cluster and are using racks you can do the upgrade one rack at a time to speed things up. Either way, this should enable you to do the upgrade fairly quickly with no downtime.
