Claim:
1. A method for enabling media guidance application operations based on biometric data, the method comprising: receiving a rule set, using control circuitry, associated with a desired biometric state of a user; determining, using the control circuitry, a media guidance application operation that is associated with adherence to the rule set; retrieving, using the control circuitry, from a database listing rules associated with rule sets a rule that corresponds to the rule set; determining, using the control circuitry, a current biometric state of the user; comparing, using the control circuitry, the current biometric state of the user to the rule to determine whether the current biometric state of the user corresponds to the rule; in response to determining that the current biometric state of the user corresponds to the rule, enabling the media guidance application operation; and in response to determining that the current biometric state does not correspond to the rule: retrieving a list of media assets stored on storage circuitry of the user; comparing at least one attribute of each media asset in the list of media assets to a preference of the user to identify a media asset of the plurality of media assets, stored on the storage device, that matches the preference of the user; and automatically removing, from the storage circuitry, the media asset identified to have the at least one attribute that matches the preference of the user.
