📝 Problem Description

I would like it to automatically delete contacts from the database that haven't been seen online for a while. This would help to remove offline contacts that haven't been seen in a long time from the database clearing up the map but also the sidebar.

This could be configuration for example if there hasn't been any contact for 1 week to remove the contacts from the database. Furthermore, any contacts that are added as a favorite should be ignored.

🚦 Current Behavior

Currently they stay there forever.

@TheGreatestJannet I think what you want exists already when you go to settings\Radio App Mgmt\Bulk delete Contacts.

Yes the functionally is there but it doesn’t happen automatically.

I would like it to automatically delete contacts that it hasn’t heard from in over 1 week without needing to manually do it.

This would clean up the map and sidebar and ensure the information is accurate and not show nodes that haven’t been seen in a month and no longer exist.

I like the idea but lemme think on this -- we need to think about whether we purge contacts that we've had conversations with, whether we keep or dispose of historical metrics we've gathered on the users, etc.
