VBoxManage unregistervm --delete does not delete VRDEAutoGeneratedCert.pem and VRDEAutoGeneratedPrivateKey.pem

Description
If I run VBoxManage unregistervm --delete at the command line VRDEAutoGeneratedCert.pem and VRDEAutoGeneratedPrivateKey.pem are left behind in the machine folder. The problem occurs on a machine running VirtualBox-7.1.4, but not on one using VirtualBox-7.0.18.
I use Vagrant to create VMs in a CI testing environment and this bug has broken the scripts. When recreating a VM, I get:
VBoxManage: error: Could not rename the directory '~/VirtualBox VMs/temp_clone_1738566076708_11622' to '~/VirtualBox VMs/vm_name' to save the settings file (VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)

This issue has been addressed in VirtualBox 7.1.8 which was recently released and is available here.
This issue also affects Windows hosts, and it causes similar problems with CI scripts. The issue is still present in VirtualBox 7.1.6.
