If you download and process the files in the same workbench, you can use a TempPathnameCreator, and save the files to the temporary location provided. At the end of the workbench FME will automatically delete these files.

ooo - thanks - not come across this one before - I imagine this will work in Flow and not just desktop. Will give it a test.
