Deleting identification data

By default, IDnow will delete all result files 7 days after fulfilment. Nevertheless, it would be best, to delete the result files after they have been collected completely and successfully.

Some confusion exists on when to use delIdentData and when to use cancelOrder. As a rule of thumb, use cancelOrder before the OnFinal webhook has been triggered and delIdentData after that point.
