No you can't tell the user left to another site. You could try playing with JavaScript onUnLoad handlers, change the external links so that they go through a script that does something and redirects to the actual address, but I would not recommend that. You will miss some and you will delete others that you do not want to (imagine they open the external link into a new window, or that they create a new window, your page gets loaded into that second window and when the user moves someplace else you delete the file ... while he still has the first window open). The best you can do is to run a background job from time to time and delete the files that were not modified for some time.
