I am using drupal 5.7 and 5.x-1.0 of auto expire. Immediately apologize for the bad English. The problem with the disposal of synonyms for node created with the PathAuto. After the expiry of the publication node is removed and its synonym not removed and in the case of a large amount of publications (for example, ads) the number of empty synonyms grows unchecked.

I think there is a misunderstanding about how the module works. After the expiry the node is not removed, but unpublished. There is no need to delete path aliases at this point, because the node can be published again. Expired node can be purged (deleted) by auto_expire. When this happens, hook_nodeapi ($op = delete) is fired and path_nodeapi() will delete the corresponding path alias.
