Need option to delete old data of n8n

Feature Requests

I have so much data, it makes loading or filter data too slow.
I realize that I do not need many old data from Workflow Executions.

It seems overload old data. I usually have 524 errors.
It needs me to restart container everytime.

I think there are 2 issues in core here:
1. This could be better if n8n data could load only newest part in small memory.
2. Could you have a option to keep Execution data only in term (ex 3 months or 1 year…)?
