I found this answer
https://answerstoquestionpage.com/qa/does-mega-delete-files-after-several-months-of-inactivity.html

It seems that the automatic deletion is not performed on a 
per-file basis, but basing upon whole account activity.
Just six months of inactivity is considered enough to delete it.
I'll definitely give it a miss, I tend to be rather untidy 
with date/times and terms of such kind !
Brrrrrr, tremendous
