Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
Nextcloud 32.0.1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Media shared in Nextcloud Talk with message expiration enabled should be deleted from Nextcloud. Currently, they are stored in "All Files" -> "Talk" for the sender.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the file in "All Files" -> Talk be deleted along the with the message when it expires.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could setup the Retention App with the Labeling App and get files in that folder to self-delete after a set time but that is prone to errors.

Additional context
This would be consistent with other "Chat" apps that have "disappearing" messages.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Nextcloud Talk message-expiration handling and the media storage path under All Files/Talk, then trace how expired messages are removed. Done means media shared through an expired message is also deleted, with coverage for that behavior.
