Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1972

Describe the feature you'd like

Background
When importing content via the SingleFile extension, Karakeep stores large "precrawled" files. After the system finishes extracting the required content (such as text, metadata, screenshots, etc.), the original precrawled files still occupy significant disk space.

Proposal
Add an option (global setting, environment variable, or extension parameter) to automatically delete the original precrawled file after the extraction and processing are complete.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Saves disk space, especially for large or batch imports.
No manual cleanup required.
Keeps the system simple by using existing extension parameters.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I think that makes sense, probably can be an extra flag in the singlefile endpoint

What about compressing the archive after everything is done? Keep it in cold storage unless needed again. Could help with the disk space issue.
