I’m wondering if anyone is aware of an auto pruning feature for entries older than a defined period.  
Basically “delete all form entries older than 6 months automatically” or similar.  
I have a few large forms with required image attachments running on my site, and the site (and its backups) are taking quite a lot of space.

You can configure automatic permanent deletion of entries older than the specified number of days (e.g. 181) on the Form Settings \> Personal Data page of the form.

> **[Personal Data Settings](https://docs.gravityforms.com/personal-data-settings/)**
>
> The Personal Data tab of the Form Settings provides integration with the WordPress personal data exporting and erasing tools.
