If possible, delete the duplicate after the image has been processed to the final output, perhaps automatically after a few days.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not necessarily a problem, but nice to have feature. When we capture a photo and crop it to the final version, we may export the result and delete the original entry from the app. However, it can be convenient to retain documents within the app, such as a 50‑page file. After editing all 50 pages and keeping them in the app, the app stores both the original image and the processed version, which duplicates data and consumes extra space. It would be helpful to add an option that automatically deletes the original image after a set period, thereby saving storage.

Research direction

Start from the app's image-processing and document-storage flow, focusing on where the original and final images are retained. Determine how a configurable deletion period could be represented and what should happen to multi-page documents; done means the original is removed after the chosen period while the processed document remains available.
