Maybe so, but os.remove() works on my XP box... :-)

I didn't try unlink since the OP said it didn't work. And maybe 
significantly
MS Visual C doesn't (or didn't up to v6) include the unlink system 
call.
So I figured maybe remove was implemented to be system specific.

But it was not a scientific test.
