There seems to be not too much call for super low resolutions; the patch for T312152 removes the 120p and 180p transcodes, so 240p is now the smallest size video output.
These files should be deleted to free space after it is deployed; that can be done with a call to requeueTranscodes.php like this:
php extensions/TimedMediaHandler/maintenance/requeueTranscodes.php --key=120p.vp9.webm php extensions/TimedMediaHandler/maintenance/requeueTranscodes.php --key=180p.vp9.webm
but on all wikis :D

I ran this on testwiki and I am not sure it did what it was supposed to, they seem to have been regenerated and they are still there, see e.g. https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2012-07-18_Market_Street_-_San_Francisco.webm.

Reviving this as we landed the much-redone patch today and it should hit live in the next train. :) Self-assigning as I'll run it myself.
I can start this once this config patch goes out:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/961864
and can then build new tracks on testwiki afterwards.
