I suggest removing the file just after opening it for write.
That way you can continue to use the file for reading or writing to it, by passing the file descriptor id.
The kernel will automatically remove the file once the descriptor id is closed or the process holding the file descriptor id dies (crashes or exits)
So you not longer have to take care of cleaning the files. The file will be automatically cleaned when you not longer use it.</pre>
