There is currently a delete operation to cancel or cleanup an export.
Can you also delete an individual file too once you've downloaded it?

When there are lots of files you can request to cleanup as you go.

That's an interesting idea -- we haven't specified it, but obviously some underlying storage providers do support this (e.g., cloud buckets), while in other cases the concept isn't directly relevant (e.g., if a server never actually materializes the export into files on disk).

It may also make sense to give the BDT server the option to specify an expiration date for the export result files (in the result json) to give the client a deadline for downloading the file. The server can, then, schedule routine housekeeping to clean up old files.
