### Feature Request / Improvement - context: when I want to keep the size of table small by expiring snapshots and delete orphan files, I find that there is no any way to estimate the files that can be deleted after the snapshot expiration before it occurs - suggest: Perhaps we can expose the total size of the files to be deleted after snapshot expiration through SQL or procedure. <img width="757" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cf6bf8d8-7192-430f-ab5b-2ba9dd5de31f"> <img width="781" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53eca614-b5aa-400d-8708-f4b89c7dc0bc"> ### Query engine Spark ### Willingness to contribute - [X] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [X] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
