Hi, I want to know, how can I set auto delete for my documents inside a collection after a certain time.

Thankyou

TL;DR
The user wants to know how to set up automatic deletion of documents after a certain period of time. They are seeking insight and information on how to accomplish this task. One suggestion is to use a cron job cloud function to schedule the deletion.

@Steven appologies for tagging, I really need an insight about it. Or else my database will keep growing forever
