Automate deleting assets

GitHub Action? how do you track an asset was tagged as deleted 30 days ago? metadata?

Metadata sounds like a good approach. Instead of a GitHub Action, since this is deployed to Vercel, you could opt to use their cron job feature.

Happy to assist once I've done the speed run of the course. 😅

thats not a bad idea!

that would definitely be a simpler and cleaner approach, though my only consideration there is that would drive Vercel costs up (to more quickly reach free tier) where GitHub Actions are largely free

wdyt?

i have this repo that i use for automating cleanup of example projects i have to avoid them being stored and linked to

https://github.com/colbyfayock/cloudinary-cron/blob/main/.github/workflows/media-library-cleanup.yml
https://github.com/colbyfayock/cloudinary-cron/blob/main/src/media-library-cleanup.js

just showing it as an example of how ive done it. it would need to check that metadata like you mentioned to ensure it was 30 days
