This takes up a lot of space (see #2 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3671#types-of-upload-storage-and-total-sizes) and ideally we'd try to reduce this footprint. We have at least a couple of options: 1. Decrease the amount of time that we keep export files available to download 2. Delete these files as soon as they have been downloaded the first time ## Goal Determine if we can increase the frequency that we remove the export files generated for download.
