Description

Enhancement Type

A completely new feature

Describe the enhancement

After stopping the server, the container could delete downloaded server files for saving space when the server is not being used, when an env variable is set.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Docker entrypoint script to identify where the server stop is handled, then add a check for an environment variable to trigger deletion of server files.
