I haven't tested this in debug, but... If you don't need to close() the file, then you could add FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE to your CreateFile(). If you do need to close it, but want it to hang around for a while, open another instance of the file, and it won't delete until the last handle is closed.
