Delete Items As Needed

[elliotcourant]

Delete Items for churned users using /item/remove. Deleting unneeded Items is a security best practice and will also prevent you from being charged for these Items when using a subscription-based product such as Transactions.

The thing to consider with this is when should an item be removed? Since we are tying a ton of data to transactions this would essentially throw out the user's data unless we found a way to associate the transactions without plaid's ID.

Should we remove this at the end of the month of their billing cycle? Or some time period after that?

We should also think about user's whose card declines, that isn't necessarily considered churned and they may update their card shortly thereafter.

The other thing to ask Plaid maybe is if a removed item can be restored somehow.
