Uploadthing Delete Files

Hi, I'm trying to delete lots of files in one go using a cron job... I detect files that are more than 3 days old and delete all of them...

I'm doing this:

const activityFilenamesToDelete = expiredActivityRecords.map(
    (record) => record.filename,
  );

  const taskFilenamesToDelete = expiredTaskRecords.map(
    (record) => record.evidence?.[0]?.filename,
  );

  const filenamesToDelete = [
    ...activityFilenamesToDelete,
    ...taskFilenamesToDelete,
  ];

  if (filenamesToDelete.length > 0) {
    try {
      const validFilenamesToDelete = filenamesToDelete.filter(
        (filename): filename is string => filename !== null,
      );
      await utapi.deleteFiles(validFilenamesToDelete);
      console.log(
        `Successfully deleted ${validFilenamesToDelete.length} expired files`,
      );
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Failed to delete expired files:", error);
    }
  }

  return Response.json({ deletedCount: filenamesToDelete.length });

const activityFilenamesToDelete = expiredActivityRecords.map(
    (record) => record.filename,
  );

  const taskFilenamesToDelete = expiredTaskRecords.map(
    (record) => record.evidence?.[0]?.filename,
  );

  const filenamesToDelete = [
    ...activityFilenamesToDelete,
    ...taskFilenamesToDelete,
  ];

  if (filenamesToDelete.length > 0) {
    try {
      const validFilenamesToDelete = filenamesToDelete.filter(
        (filename): filename is string => filename !== null,
      );
      await utapi.deleteFiles(validFilenamesToDelete);
      console.log(
        `Successfully deleted ${validFilenamesToDelete.length} expired files`,
      );
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Failed to delete expired files:", error);
    }
  }

  return Response.json({ deletedCount: filenamesToDelete.length });

filename is the key of each, some are like this: "S3NUJszt9cEpdYb3l7F8xZGXwMvl7CkJ0qUjcYnNgiWe2mHb", some others like "ba8c9b9a-cda1-47b5-a972-ee1936c27a6c-wy6d.gif", i don't know why it's failing, but it may be because i'm trying to delete over 20k files...

it doesn't throw an error, it just doesn't delete anything.

please help
