This commit introduces security improvements to the file handling procedures. Specifically, it addresses: **Path Traversal Vulnerability**: We've implemented a path sanitization method that ensures all file operations are confined within a predefined base directory, thus preventing unauthorized access to files outside of this directory. **Command Injection**: Replaced the use of os.system() with the safer os.remove() method for file deletion. This change avoids potential command injections and makes the deletion process more secure.
