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.
