Data management for edge architected computing systems extends current storage and memory schemes of edge resources to expose interfaces to allow a device, such as an endpoint or client device, or another edge resource, to specify criteria for managing data originating from the device and stored in an edge resource, and extends the storage and memory controllers to manage data in accordance with the criteria, including removing stored data that no longer satisfies the criteria. The criteria includes a temporal hint to specify a time after which the data can be removed, a physical hint to specify a list of edge resources outside of which the data can be removed, an event-based hint to specify an event after which the data can be removed, and a quality of service condition to modify the time specified in the temporal hint based on a condition, such as memory and storage capacity of the edge resource in which the data is managed.
