I would not want to add this as a configurable option. Maybe a field in the
database that marks the time when the episode disappeared and a clean-up of old
episodes that have not been seen for 10 days would work just as well without
the added configuration option (which adds another attack vector for
misconfiguration bugs). How long do episodes disappear from a feed in your
experience? How long do other feed readers keep old episodes around?

That's a separate issue. gPodder could very well check for extrasneous, unknown
files on the MP3 player (or at least in the per-podcast folders on the MP3
player) and show them and offer to delete them as well. Having the episode
hidden in the database does not fix this problem - it only makes it happen
slightly less often.
