I am always worried about solutions like this -- what if one day, the human makes a mistake and deletes newest photos instead of the oldest ones? What if the VA I have chosen misinterprets my instructions and does nothing?
With programming, as long as I take reasonable precautions, I will know that either the task will get done, or I'll get notifications that something is wrong. With humans? Not so much.
(Let's just not forget "reasonable precautions" part -- there is a surprising amount of people who apply the sloppiest programming for the dangerous actions. People who think that "let's use date parser which auto-detects date format" and "any error code means we can delete document" are good ideas)
