Yes, when you are uploading it check the size and then delete if it is too big.

you must create a web service that will check periodically the size of folder and if it will exceed then specific size then empty the folder.

private void clearFolder(string FolderNameWithPath)
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(FolderName);

foreach(FileInfo fi in dir.GetFiles())
{
fi.Delete();
}

foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dir.GetDirectories())
{
clearFolder(di.FullName);
di.Delete();
}
}

Or you can use

System.IO.Directory.Delete("C:\Temp", true);

C#

DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"D:\Songs");
            long total = 0;
            long sizePerMb = 1024;
            foreach (FileInfo file in dirInfo.GetFiles())
            {
                total += Convert.ToInt32(file.Length);
            }
            long size = total / sizePerMb;
            size = size / sizePerMb;
            if (size >= 50)
            { 
//write here logic to delete file after deleting again check size if it's OK then break loop else keep continue.
