Scheduled deletion of custom extracts #118

Open dolsysmith opened 3 years ago

dolsysmith commented 3 years ago

Currently, user-defined extracts are deleted from /storage on an ad-hoc basis. Consider instead creating a script (could be run as a cron job) to delete any custom extracts older than X days. Add a notice to the UI and to the email text users receive, alerting them to the deletion schedule. This will help set user expectations, optimize disk storage, and remove the overhead of manual disk cleanup.
