Hello, I don’t know if I’m the right person to present you with a solution, you’ll most certainly find it here.

I am also looking for something similar, what came to my mind was to create a script that erases the lines, and you schedule it to fire at 00hs.

This is the code, if you’re wrong, colleagues will correct it.

**function dell() {  
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(“App: Comments”); //tab name to be deleted  
spreadsheet.getRange(‘A:F’).activate(); //delete from column A: F  
spreadsheet.getActiveRangeList().clear({contentsOnly: true, skipFilteredRows: true});  
};**
