Web Development

You cant do this in this way. Check also this case - page is loaded, eventualy file is deleted and after that user wants to refresh contents of the iframe.
Better approach is to delete temporary files on regular basis - a server side script can be run every hour and delete all files older than 1 hour.

(Here's a thought) IF I can pass the temporary file name to another iFrame located at the bottom of the page, that iFrame could call a ASP page that will delete the file. The top iFrame should load first. (I'll try it)

There are a couple of tricks you could use. My favorite is

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/script>">http://yourserver.com/deletefile.asp?filename=name"></script>

You'd probably want to put this as the last thing before </body>. deletefile.asp should delete the file, then return
Content-type: text/javascript
Content-length: 0

Obviously your first ASP could populate the value of "filename". That would accomodate multiple unique filenames that need to be deleted.
Good luck.
