Hallo Abraham,
you have to use evaluate() instead of getValue().
So a more universal version of Ron's script should look like this:
def remAutosave():
autoS = nuke.toNode("preferences")["AutoSaveName"].evaluate()
if os.path.isfile(autoS):
ask = nuke.ask('Autosave file found.\nDelete?')
if ask == True:
os.remove(autoS)
Viele Grüße in die Türkenstraße!
