Description
*This issue was originally created by [**@Kimiblock**](https://github.com/Kimiblock) at .*
**Description:**
Similar to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse, delete messages & medias from the database and media repo if contents weren't accessed in a configurable amount of time.
For reference: Synapse config manual [1](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html?highlight=rete#retention) [2](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html?highlight=media%20re#media_retention)
This can greatly benefit use cases with limited disk space, such as Dendrite on VPS.
