There is the "Review frequency" box which one could set for x-number of days. If this could function as an expiration date, how could I add a button or whatever next to it for automatic deletion after the x-number of days?

Are you running the most version? If so, then yes, there is this option. We are utilizing it on our site and it works perfectly. You can set the expiration date by category or whole manager. We have it set up for a category.

Admin > Categories > Edit Category > Control Settings (there are 3 buttons to the right top.. this is in there)

Find links_expiry_days and input how long you want visible files to stay active.. so if you want things to expire after 1 day of being visible, put in 1.

Find links_expired_catid and pick what folder you would like the file to be moved to after it's expired.

Andrew maybe can fill in more options, but this is what we use it for, and like I said, it works perfectly.
