The above file was being used. I removed it from the piece of content it was being used for.
Does this mean that it will automatically be deleted at some point? If so, when?

Those six hours is the reason why temporary file aren't immediately deleted when cron tasks run. If then there are many temporary file to delete, a single run isn't sufficient to delete all the files.
