Suggested: add flag to delete work folder if run is successful

[dorianps]

I have noticed fmriprep leaves the work folders in the system after finishing data processing. I have included commands to delete the work folders in my scripts, but considering that each work folders is 80-100Gb, it might be useful to add a flag to the fmriprep call to tell to delete the work folder automatically if the run was successful.
I can imagine this can be a problem for others, too, 100 subjects would take 10Tb of space if work folders are not deleted.

If there is already a solution/flag for this, sorry I have missed it.

Thank you.

There is no flag for this, but I'm worried fmriprep is catching a case of featuritis (related issue #1963).

Rather than adding a flag, how do you feel about adding a note/disclaimer in the documentation, perhaps including a shell one-liner doing just that?

@mgxd is this actually implemented now?
