Yeah, typical cronjob approaches. I can't say for Windows, but for Linux 
systems you'd create a /etc/cron.hourly file that goes something like 
one of these, depending on your version of "find":

find /maps/images.tmp -mindepth 1 -ctime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;

find /maps/images.tmp -mindepth 1 -ctime +1 -delete
