Add option to auto-delete original file after it's been converted via automation

Add an option to the automation workflow to delete a file after it's been converted.

 

Use case: I have automation set up on a folder to convert all .heic to .jpg. However after the conversion, there's no way to automatically delete the original .heic and just keep the new .jpg. Thus I'm wasting a lot of space on duplicate images, and have to manually go in and delete the heic's.

 

I previously submitted this idea and it received several votes but was closed due to inactivity. Starting a new idea because this feature would be really useful and I hope it gets implemented.
