As of today, No such thing is available for Azure Tables (or for Blobs and Files). You would need to roll something out of your own. One possible solution would be to write a background job (either as WebJob or Azure Function) that runs periodically and finds the entities that have been created before "x" days (7 in your example) and delete those entities.
