Delete VM after a period of time has passed

I am looking into the possibility to automatically delete VM's from disk after a period of time has passed.  These VM's would be for testing purposes.  I am trying to avoid virtual machine sprawl.  Is there a time to live (TTL) value that can be set?  Can a scheduled task be used?  Do I need some other VMware software like vRealize Automation to perform this task?

You will need the vRealize Automation to automate this process.
