From time to time we (data persistence) get Trust and Safety requests to delete already production deleted soft-deleted files permanently, for several legal reasons. While the whole architecture was built around having this functionality available, we first focused on automated restoration, and at the moment, hard deletions from backups is not an easy task, it is very manual and time consuming, and requires quite specialized knowledge (SQL queries, database model knowledge, minio structure and distribution, etc.).
Create, similarly to how the restore-media-file script works a couple of interactive scripts to query and delete media files from its backups, easy enough that any sysadmin with basic media storage and media backups knowledge can use it, but safe enough it cannot accidentally cause data loss.
