You should inject Akka ActorSystem in your class and schedule a job with it, like:

import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits.defaultContext
// ...
system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(10.milliseconds) {
  file.delete()
}

This code is taken from the Play docs, you should read them. For more complicated tasks use Actors, of course.
