I don’t think this feature exists [yet](https://meta.discourse.org/t/auto-delete-topics-the-same-as-auto-close-feature/138361).

You could use [Discourse Automation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-automation/195773) and create a script to [delete all topics in a category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-proper-way-to-completely-delete-hundred-of-topics-via-rails/90323/2). I’ve never done this, so I’m not sure if it’ll work though 😅
