Yes, you're right. So I have a couple of options on how to remove a 
file. Are there any guidelines/practices when to use what?

AFAICT, if I want to remove files without blocking the rest of the 
application, I use the transfer() functions with the respective 
removal-options (as Alexander pointed out), and otherwise remove().

Is that correct?

Thanks,
