We are not talking about deleting them when they are not in use, we are
talking about not re-downloading them if they are missing for some reason -

If it's a 100MB app, and you have a modem, it's more than 2 minutes.
And then there's load on the download server.
It's possible that a mechanism for deleting app versions is needed.
But deleting them when there are no jobs is not it.
