Logan, it seems this is exactly what happened.
You might solve this by putting code into your program that sets the
"dmHdrAttrRecyclable" flag on the program DB file, which should cause it to
be deleted by the OS when the file is closed. But you'd have to test this
to make sure it performs as expected and doesn't have any undesirable side
effects.
Description from documentation of this flag is as follows
"The database is recyclable. Recyclable databases are deleted when they are
closed or upon a system reset."
