How can I remove corpses?

One of my biggest problems with XCOM 2, specifically the Avenger Defense mission, is the enemy corpses. When you save a game, and reload it, it saves the position of all the corpses, so corpses don't disappear at all. If you're like me, and you use the Avenger Defense mission as a way to fully promote your squad, once you get to 50 enemies killed it starts lagging hard, due to the amount of corpses on screen.

What setting do I need to tweak in the .ini files to remove corpses? This is getting fairly annoying as I have had to force evac when my team was healthy enough to continue the fight, but my computer couldn't stand it anymore.

I wrote a console command for this for a mod.
I don't have time to publish a mod at the moment but you can easily copy this function into your own mod that you can create with XCOM 2 Development Tools from Steam.

You also need to enable the Console.

This function should keep all the corpses for looting if looting is possible.

exec function RemoveCorpses() {
    
    local XComGameStateHistory History;
    local XComGameState NewGameState;
    
    local XComGameState_Unit UnitState;
 
    History = `XCOMHISTORY;
    
    NewGameState = class'XComGameStateContext_ChangeContainer'.static.CreateChangeState("Cleanup corpses");
    
    foreach History.IterateByClassType(class'XComGameState_Unit', UnitState) {
        
        // IsSoldier()
        // XComHQ.IsUnitInSquad(UnitState.GetReference())
        if( UnitState.IsPlayerControlled() || UnitState.bSpawnedFromAvenger ) {
            
        } else {
            if (UnitState.IsDead()) {
                UnitState = XComGameState_Unit(NewGameState.CreateStateObject(class'XComGameState_Unit', UnitState.ObjectID));
                
                class'Helpers'.static.OutputMsg("Removing Corpse of " $ UnitState.GetFullName() $ " " $
                        UnitState.GetMyTemplateName());
                
                UnitState.RemoveUnitFromPlay();   
                NewGameState.AddStateObject(UnitState);                
            }
        }
    }
    
    
    `XCOMGAME.GameRuleset.SubmitGameState(NewGameState);
}
