I'd like the ability to schedule delete of a desktop image. Use case I've got would be after changing a pool over to another image, as long as I don't need to switch back to the image for some reason, I'm done with the image, and there's a good chance I'll forget to come back and delete it in a timely manner. Of course, I'd like to be able to cancel scheduled delete if I do need to revert to image.
Desktop Image - Scheduled Delete

That's an interesting use-case I haven't thought of before, but I could see it becoming more important as we reach the Windows 10 EOL this year.
Would you just want this for the Desktop Image VM or do you think you'd need something that goes through and retroactively cleans-up old image objects in the customer's Azure tenant?
Similar to how we have an Azure Runbook that can go and remove old FSLogix profiles.
I guess I don't know what all happens in the background when an image VM is deleted. Does that clean up the versions of the image created as well? I typically have 3 version retention set when saving an image.
The intention is to schedule to remove all traces of an image at some time (probably 30 days for us) after we've applied a new image.
Correct. It cleans-up any image versions that are associated with that VM.
However, often times, we take-on Azure environments that someone else created so there's a possibility that there are some old images being stored that aren't needed anymore.
It's kind of an edge case, but I didn't know if you are facing that kind of a problem with your customers.
