If you download 1080p from Youtube you have to get it as two separate files, which gets merged after download (if ffmpeg is installed). That leaves you with 3 files, two of them are not very useful for most users of youtube-dl i think.

That's why i think a option that automatically deletes the files of format f137 and f140 would be helpful. It would clean up space and reduce the manual work of deleting the files for the user.
