If you want to cloud delete you may be able to install valetudo on your roborock. You still get a local control via webpage or the (foss) app.

Valetudo has been awesome on my Roborock S5s. It does occasionally hang up so I have some reboot cludge scripts, but in general its pretty solid. And way more than you can ask for from some random guy on the internet.
