Description
We have the timestream suprsyncs set to delete files after a certain amount of time but not the smurf ones. This is because we don't want to delete tune files or the last bg maps, bias steps, etc. This means that the smurf servers slowly get full off of these sorts of files and, for the LAT, this is happening faster than we'd like.
We should upgrade the suprsync delete logic so that we can delete older smurf files that we know we won't need.

Research direction
Start by locating the suprsync delete logic in the repository and identify how timestream files are currently handled. Clarify which older smurf files are safe to remove while preserving tune files and the last background maps, bias steps, and other required files. Done means the deletion behavior safely reduces smurf-server storage without removing protected files.
