The retention policy for Table manager can only be set globally.
Per-tenant and per-stream retention policies along with support for deleting
ingested logs using an API are only supported by Compactor retention.

Since a design goal of Loki is to make storing logs cheap, a volume-based
deletion API is deprioritized. Until this feature is released, if you suddenly

If you must delete ingested logs, you can delete old chunks in your object store. Note,
however, that this only deletes the log content and keeps the label index
intact; you will still be able to see related labels but will be unable to
retrieve the deleted log content.

For further details on the Table Manager internals, refer to the
[Table Manager](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/operations/storage/table-manager/) documentation.

Alternatively, if the BoltDB Shipper is configured for the index store, you can enable [Log entry deletion](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/operations/storage/logs-deletion/) to delete log entries from a specific stream.
