OK, that right.

No. 

Actually is my main concern is to be warned, if the next timer will
run into low disc space. But that's sounds very much like AI... ;-)

It could be estimated, which timer will be the first to run
into "full disc", if all deletions are done automatically.
If this is the next, the user has to be warned.
If it's a later, it's up to the user to decide, if he would
be able to delete tomorrow, after the weeekend, holidays  etc.


But that would be pure luxus...
