You can use System.IO.File.Move() to move a file to another location and then automatically delete the original.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.move.aspx for an example of usage.

You need to wait to complete the export process first and then you've to delete. I don't think so you can do these operations parallely.
