Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @sydlexius on GitHub (May 9, 2022).
Describe the feature/enhancement
A feature in PocketCasts that I enjoy is to restrict certain podcasts (especially news-oriented ones) to a limited number of downloaded/queued episodes. I can define this by quantity, maximum age, or both (as seen below).
@advplyr commented on GitHub (May 9, 2022):
It will remove them from your file system after 2 days no matter whether you listened to it or not?
@sydlexius commented on GitHub (May 9, 2022):
It archives the podcasts by default. There is a global setting where you can configure how archived episodes are handled (including deletion).
@jflattery commented on GitHub (May 9, 2022):
@sydlexius, and to be clear, how would this feature implemented in your eyes? Would the episodes be archived on the server, the app, or both?
@sydlexius commented on GitHub (May 9, 2022):
Having thought a bit more about this, this request is probably better
suited to the client-side. Should I resubmit my request?

It sounds like this is something that would need to be implemented on the server, web client and the app. I don't fully understand the feature though.
@jflattery commented on GitHub (May 9, 2022):
My understanding is that the request is for the app to support archiving episodes downloaded to the device based on user defined criteria. So for instance, in Downcast, I can set a podcast to keep the last 3 episodes that haven't been marked as listened to. When an episode is completed, it is deleted from the phone. Is this what you are thinking @sydlexius ? Or do you want to also have the content removed from the server as well?
@feerlessleadr commented on GitHub (May 16, 2022):
I originally thought that this would be a request for something like - only keep x amount of previous episodes, then delete.
So if I have a daily news podcast that I have automatically download each day, but don't listen to for a week or 2, I probably don't want to listen to a daily news podcast that is a week or 2 old - hence having it auto-prune/auto-remove episodes older than a certain number of days.
This would be a setting defined on a per podcast basis, since there are podcasts that would benefit from this, but obviously a lot of episodic podcasts that would not.
