Is there any support for Data retention and data purging in Umami App ?

Hi Team,

I’m looking for information on data purging and data retention features in Umami. Specifically:

Does Umami provide any built-in methods or environment variables for automatic data purging or retention management?
I couldn’t find any related environment variables or settings in the official documentation.

As per my understanding : “Retention” in Umami refers to user retention analytics and does not address data purging or automatic data retention policies for stored analytics data :

Here is an AI assisted start to the procedure if you want to do it manually. I haven't tried it and I wouldn't as is, it was just a question to explore and further this discussion... needs to be investigated and refined to make sure its safe and covers all types of data including session replay, etc.
