how to deleteold versions?

Post by Partner »

In some of my contributions there are several versions. The reasion of newer version is in general a correction of some errors or better display. So there is no sense and no value of keeping old versions.
How can I delete old version and so release space for other files.

Better in my case would be the possibility to replace the former version by a newer one without keeping the older version.
Thanks for help

Yes, I know that, and I use that always when I made some corrections. But still the old version is visible. Can I delete the old versions?

Yes, I can see all versions. I don't need any version management as recovering an older version. When I upload a newer version it is always because of some little errors (forgot instrument names or registers or something like that) so that in my case all older version can be thrown away. For me the best would be the possibility just to replace an older version without keeping it. Because it could be a good feature ( [ ] replace old versions)

Thanks
