How to delete file uploaded to sever after processing it in Django?

Question

What I am trying to do is that when I upload an audio file which needs to be processed it gets stored in the server, but that file is not needed anymore after user leaves the website. How should I efficiently manage this in Django? Thankyou

Just delete the file after processing?

import os
os.remove(path_to_file)

Thanks. Even I thought of doing so but I thought to confirm if any other solution exists. Anyways I will use os.remove() . – Prashant Kumar Jun 18 '16 at 15:11
