Just a quick note.
I do just this sort of thing to deal with temporary files. It is scheduled
to run every two hours.
One problem that we came across is if the file is being used. We ended up
adding a cftry..cfcatch setup to ensure that if one file was being used, the
cf page would continue with the rest of the files. Without this combo, the
page would crash at the first file it couldn't delete. This can be a major
problem if IIS has locked a file.
