Files may only actually get deleted when they're closed, but all the resources in your file package will generally only be opened as needed, and will thus be deleted immediately. If a resource your app needs to save the currently open file or that's otherwise needed has already been deleted, you could corrupt user data.
Hold on! No one said the app would delete itself; the uninstaller would delete the app, and then itself, and then presumably quit immediately.
