I am using TranscoderTimedSnapshot lib.

```auto
Every minute, the screenshot is saved in the content folder.
I want to delete my previous screenshots

Hello @seungyeon kim,

Because these files are created and are now part of the OS file system, they would need to be deleted manually or through an OS level script.
