I'm not a files guru, but I'll offer a suggestion.

What happens if the user:

clicks "create new page"
attaches a file
clicks preview
goes and has a cup of coffee and their Windoze box crashes.

You're left with a file dangling in the file system which
should really be deleted, perhaps by a weekly cron.

But because you have now fully inserted this file into the
file system there's no easy way of telling if it's really
required or not.
