In an untrusted pl language, yes, but it's a bad idea because:

If you had an error after truncating the file but before committing the
transaction, then the imported data would be gone, but the file would be
gone too, so you'd have lost it.

Things like this need to be handled _after_ commit, not before, so a
function is the wrong place for it.
