Right, so in the case of an activity that inhibit suspend because it is 
shared you have to close the activity in order to get out of that state. 
There is currently no way to 'un-share' an activity. So, in order for 
powerd to kick in the activity has to be closed and therefore it will 
remove the file. Or do I oversee something why we can not rely on my 
assumption?
