Lots of programs leave files in temp folder, if they are not shut down properly. I don't think cleaning this up should be the responsibility of your standard business application; perhaps of some maintenance application that is run once a day or once a week. Or, the user cleans up those files occasionally. It is more important for you to check that there is sufficient free disk space. This is something I do on startup.

On the other hand, if you want to make sure you are in the correct directory, check curdir() or perhaps better fullpath("") (includes disk letter), before actually deleting.
