A quick look at the code shows me that you can use SelfDeletingFile to =

delete a file on startup by configuring itself to shut itself down just =

after starting up.

DeleteFileOnStartup extends SelfDeletingFile {
     sfShouldTerminate true;
}

This is only for a single file and doesn't handle error reporting well, =

as all code to clean things up on shutdown tends to log-and-continue on =

any problem.
