Review Comment:
> That said, I would be fine with just having a "cleanMetadata(boolean
cleanMetadata: True)"
I think this is a good candidate, or we should be more specific like
`cleanExpiredFiles`, we should call it `cleanExpiredMeta(boolean clean)`. WDYT?

> The rationale for having the API is more REST + compatibility related.
This is well thought. I'm in favor of exposing this as an API. As for the
boolean parameter, I think it would be consistent with `cleanExpiredFiles` and
it would be easier to call it in a fluent way when expiring files and meta are
determined by external caller.
