It seems to me, that you should describe where you those images are situated.
- On one of the drives of your PC?
- On some site, if yes, where?
- Here at the ElevenForum?
- Attended / unattended by who?
Please explain your situation and why you intend to do what you mentioned.

Sorry for the confusion, they are ISOS with unattended installation.
I want them to expire in x amount of time, something similar to what is done in SCCM.

Again, sorry for my bad English.

My thoughts about 'images' were 'pictures' of any kind, but probably you were pointing at ISO files, intended for installation of a program, maybe a Windows system.

I can hardly imagine you could automatically delete them after a certain period. Would not know why you would want to do such a thing, but as I am not familiar with unattended installation (never used that), I'll leave answering to other members.

Yes, the idea is to make the windows ISO expire so it won't let you install, something similar is done in SCCM, I think it's done in boot.wim but I'm not sure and I don't know how to do it either.

Config Manager does not have expiring boot images. You can set an expiration on a task sequence deployment, which is probably what you're thinking of.

How about you tell us what problem you're trying to solve? This seems like an XY problem.

I usually keep the isos updated, every Tuesday I download the KB and implement it, the initial idea is to extend the updates to once a month, as a way to force myself I want to implement expiration, not being able to install an outdated ISO image, I also thought about implementing expiration once they stop having MS support.
