Upon WinSCP Close - Delete Non-Temp Copies of Remote Files and Directories

In summary - WinSCP's current behavior with temporary sessions is not set up for non-temporary directories - I propose an additional feature (a radio button on/off) that will allow deletion of files downloaded to a 'non-temp' directory specified by the user.

For example - I set my C:\Users\myname\winscp directory to be where WinSCP files are downloaded - I edit/double click /home/myname/.bashrc on the remote server. Locally - it lands here:
C:\Users\myname\winscp\home\myname\.bashrc

This is expected behavior unrelated to the requested change.

Once I close WinSCP - currently the file stays there. This is the behavior I'm asking for an optional feature to change.

The optional feature I'm requesting would allow users to select if they want it to delete downloaded files - so when WinSCP closes - the file and all other folders associated are deleted from the specified directory.
