Chime Media Capture Pipelines - artifacts clean up

Question

We are using Chime CreateMediaCapturePipeline to capture video/audio frames for every 5 seconds. After that we run  CreateMediaConcatenationPipeline to concatenate all the frames into one single video and audio files. After the concatenation, Is it safe to delete captured video/audio chunks created by CreateMediaCapturePipeline. if so, Is there better way to delete them as part of chime processes or any other best practices would be helpful. 
Thanks.

If you no longer want the 5-second segments, it is safe to delete them after the concatenation pipeline finishes.

A best practice is to have different S3 buckets for the captured 5-second segments and concatenated files.  The S3 bucket with the segments can have an S3 Lifecycle Configuration with an Expiration Action to automatically delete files once they are a certain age.
