UI Tweaks as discussed in the design call
- Heading --> Automatic file deletion (File retention)
- Tags updated only on page reload
- If no tags: Empty content with link that opens the tag creation section in the basic settings
- Retention time label should be left aligned like other labels
- Width of fields
- First column wider by 50% more
- Time units field can be narrower
- Last column can be narrower
- "Retention time" --> "Delete after"
- "Time units"
- Select components with 30 days, 90 days, 3 years, 7 years, custom?
- Clicking on anything replaces the select with the time units+days/month/year components
- Maybe create a component for selecting time + time unit

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the UI for file retention settings and compare it with each unchecked item; clarify the unresolved component and select behavior before starting. Done means the agreed heading, labels, tag handling, field widths, and retention controls match the design call.
