Delete Everything?

Huge newbie here.  I just started learning about SABnzbd+ and how it can work with Sickbeard yeesterday.  I did a test last night and was happy with the results, but running in to a few clean up issues.  In my sort of dumbed down way I understand Sickbeard goes out and finds the appropriate nzb file and passes it on to SABnzbd+.  SABnzbd+ can then download the respective file and then pass it back to Sickbeard via a post-processing script.  Sickbeard then knows where to actually put the file.  This all seems to be working for me, but the one thing I've noticed is that I have two copies of the same requested file:  one where SABnzbd+ puts it and another where Sickbeard knows it is supposed to go.  Ultimately, I only need the file where Sickbeard is putting it.

I did notice there was a "Cleanup" item ni the configuration, but that appears to be for mostly nfo files and things like that.  I could put some kind of wildcard in there to cleanup everything, but my fear is that it will do this cleanup effort before Sickbeard has had a chance to do anything with the file I need.  Any thoughts on what should be done here to resolve the issue?

You probably cannot use the cleanup.
It runs before the user script is called.
It must, because the script may move the files, after which the cleanup can no longer work.
It's SickBeard's problem to do the cleanup.

Thanks.  Helped a ton.  Once I went back to Sickbeard I think I now have the configuration setup properly to get where I want.  Thanks for the guidance.  I do appreciate it.
