Comment (by asadkn):

 If this is to be done in core centrally it would be great to have a common
 interface to select what to delete. This wouldn't mean the plugin cannot
 extend the interface and have their own extended logic to process at the
 deletion hook.

 For example, "Delete Invoices" for a plugin can be a central setting but
 the plugin may have its own extended settings where it defines rules on
 when an invoice may be deleted (time duration/tax year, type of invoice).
 The plugin may also use WP-Cron to schedule a future deletion.

 To add to it, it would be helpful if each plugin can add an optional
 info/message when the request is processed. For instance, "Invoices #100,
 #99 will be retained for [legal basis] for [time duration]". Or "IP
 Address logs retained in PluginName for [legal basis] for 30 days."
