Automatic deletion of uploaded files (e.g. videos) after a definable period

I use YouForm, among other things, because it allows you to accept larger files (such as video files) via forms. That is ideal for my application.
However, this creates the following problem:
When videos are submitted regularly via a form, the storage space used grows continuously. Since the files are only needed temporarily in my case, it would be very helpful if there was a way to have uploaded files automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
My specific feature request:
A function for automatically deleting upload files after a freely definable period of time (e.g. 7, 14, or 30 days).
Optionally, the following implementation variants would be possible:
Direct setting in the form
Adjustable per form: “Automatically delete files after X days”
Optionally also globally for the entire account
API solution
Access to upload metadata (upload date, file ID, etc.)
Ability to delete files programmatically via API
Perhaps a webhook trigger after upload
This would allow YouForm to continue to be optimally used for larger uploads without taking up unnecessary storage space in the long term.
I think this feature would be particularly valuable for use cases such as applications, video submissions, casting forms, or one-time submissions.
Thanks for your great work and for reviewing this suggestion!
