Short answer

The results of your cleanup

Where your files end up

Your AI handles the scanning and deletion, leaving you with these specific outcomes.

CLEANUP

A tidy catalog

The AI removes the specific files you identified as obsolete. Your media library stays relevant and organized.

AUDIT

Full file visibility

Your agent pulls a complete list of everything in your VOD storage. You'll see exactly what's taking up space.

CONTROL

Human-led deletion

The AI won't delete things randomly. You decide which files are junk, and the AI executes the command.

By purging unused video assets, you stop paying for storage you don't need. It keeps your Aliyun VOD costs down.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change video playback settings?

    No. This connector is limited to listing and deleting media. It cannot modify video properties.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which files are obsolete?

    It relies on the criteria you provide in your prompt, such as specific filenames, upload dates, or naming patterns.

    No. The delete_media tool performs a permanent removal from your Aliyun VOD catalog.
