Could this be done with a simple nightly cron job? Something like

find /var/lib/asterisk/messages [I forget the path] -name *.wav -mtime
+90 -exec rm {} \;

That'll delete any WAV files older than 90 days. Mind you, there might
be an index file that needs editing as well (haven't used the VM
system for a while) so a script may be needed...
