They won't be able to delete any mdf or ldf files if sql server us running anyway, so that one is covered off.Are you sure about that? If you drop the database, you delete the files with it (assuming the database is online when you drop it).

Well yeah, but as the dropping of databases and the deleting of files were listed as separate items I assumed the OP meant browsing through the file system and manually trying to delete the files, which you can't do if SQL server is running.
