Store AI images per user with smart key prefixes and dual deletion
Use key prefixes like users/{userId}/generations/{yyyy-mm}/{uuid}.png to organize AI-generated images per user. Delete images app-side for intent (user actions) and lifecycle rules for entropy (expired scratch renders). A weekly reconciliation job catches orphaned objects, which affected 0.2% of keys in one bucket.
