This should be different then cleaning up normal chats (https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/12280) since everything about a temporary conversation should not persist.

THough i agree that cleaning up old chats should delete the data as well in some fashion

File upload being stored in the backend is the intended behaviour, would love to see a third party tooling for https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/12280
