you would need to make a executable that is run during the installation. Unfortunately that is not allowed to be done with PA type sis files.

As yucca told it is not allowed . leisurelife_kbj i can suggest u a
logic
1:Identify when is my first launch:
on installation place a file example:"CheckStatusInstallation.txt" having a flag 0 and then on first launch write 1 to it.Then when u launch for the second time u check the content of the time if it is 1 then it means that it is not your first launch.Bundle this "CheckStatusInstallation.txt" with a default value 0

2: Delete the file or folder on the first launch:
As you now know that this is the first launch. Try a run a code in constructor to delete that specific folder or file.

void MyClassContainer:Constructor()
{
    //
     .......
    //
   TRAPD(r,CheckStatusL());


}


void MyClassContainer::CheckStatusL()
{
    _LIT(FileToDelete,"myfiletodelete.txt")
     RFs fs;  
    //initialise fs.
    RFile file;
   //initialise fs.
    TInt Status;
   if (KErrNone == file.Open(fs, _L("CheckStatusInstallation.txt"), EFileRead))
   {
            CleanupClosePushL(file);
            TInt Size = 0;
            file.Size(Size);
            TBuf8<10> tmp;
            file.Read(tmp, tmp.MaxLength());
            TLex8 lex(tmp);
            lex.Val(DbStatus);

	    CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); //file

	    if (DbStatus == 0)
	    {
		if (BaflUtils::FileExists(fs, FileToDelete))  //delete the file
		{
	        	
			
		}
            //if   you want to delete a folder write a code here

           }
      }
    //check and close file,fs  if not will get  alloc error
}
