I recommend that you add an item to your monthly housekeeping to do
list (LoTW uploads, QSL cards, dust the shack, click
"Menu->File->Delete all *.wav & *.c2 files in SaveDir", ...). You
could even use the o/s scheduler application to run a script or batch
file to do this automatically.
If you are concerned about SSD wear (personally I wouldn't be) then
you should have a spinning disk on your system as well and you can
direct WSJT-X for save .WAV files in a directory on that.

Bill's idea to use scheduler for cleaning is very good (with windows) .
For Linux the same is user crontab.
Sometimes you might be interested to replay some of decodings. Then best
selection is "save decoded". It makes lot of files but using
scheduler/crontab you can limit this.
I'm using this with linux:
cd ~/.local/share/WSJT-X/save/;eval $(find *.wav -mtime +2 -type f | awk
'{print "/bin/rm -f "$1}')
When running timed via crontab (hourly, could be daily if crontab runs
"missed" jobs when starting up) it will keep today's and 2 days old
files, but delete all older ones.
It can also be used from command line.
I have used SSD with this PC now about 3 years running all kind of
programs including wsjt-x, logging, fldigi, programming etc. SSDs seems
to be rather long-lived. Just remember to do full backups few times a
year and email. documents etc. backup more often. (Same as with all HDs).
In my server PC I use spinning HD because it is running all the time.
SSD is best if you shut down PC daily. Booting up is lot more faster.
