What WMI services, etc, do I use to delete a temporarily created file

[JustScriptIt]

I am trying to create a script that deletes a file that is generated in the process of a service is shutting down. Once the service has shut down, the file disappears.

That means, the script must
1. Detect the presence of a file
2. Then it can delete it

What WMI tools do I use? Are there other functions I can use to make this work?

Below is pseudo-code

shutdown smc.exe
while smc.exe is shutting down, detect whether LUInfo.dat has been created. If yes, then delete it.

start smc.exe

You can use the FileSystem Object, in particular the FileExists and DeleteFile methods.

dim fso, sFilename
sFilename = "C:\MyFile.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(sFilename) Then
   fso.DeleteFile sFilename
End If
