Comment (by macbookandrew):

 >It would be ideal to have the file be automatically deleted when the
 download has completed. Obviously that is difficult to know, but when the
 index.html file is opened, the customer could let us know.

 Possibly add an image to the export HTML with the src set to https://my-
 site.com/wp-json/privacy/delete-personal-data-
 file/z6S0kil2OGtEkdWkCwWL6xMz8cd8suve or something similar? The REST API
 receiving the request could serve a blank PNG/GIF and immediately delete
 the file.

 However, I can see how that might be construed as collecting more data on
 a user after they requested an export, so maybe not the best idea? Just
 thinking out loud.
