[Autogenerated] hi. And this lesson, I'm
gonna show you how to delete a major
version of a document in a document
library. Let's go to our job descriptions
library. And we are going to take a look
at the accountant job description
document. We're gonna click on the show
actions _______ here and from our menu.
We're going to choose version history now.
The version history, of course, will show
us how many versions of the document there
are. And you see that there are 10. Now,
that is a lot of versions. And remember,
Although these documents are small, you
can go over here and see they're not very
big. It's a very small document. You could
have huge documents, and every version is
taking up more space in SharePoint. So it
might not be a bad idea if you don't need
all of these versions to get rid of a few
of them every once in a while. So we're
going to go and we are going to get rid of
a few of these. Now, I know that I don't
need version nine anymore, so I'm gonna
hover over it. You see the little drop
down? I'm gonna click there and I have
three options view restoring the lead. You
know which one. I'm gonna choose the lead
and saying Are you sure you want to send
this version to the site? Recycle bin.
Now, remember that it's going to the
recycle bin. So if you accidentally
deletes something that you need a version
of the document that you want to get back
until the recycle bin is emptied, it's
still gonna be there. So we're gonna
click. Okay, now, this could take a little
bit of time. No, there we go. That wasn't
too bad. And now version nine is gone. I
know that I don't need version five, so
I'm going to get rid of that as well. I'm
gonna click on delete. Click. Okay. And
you can see I'm slowly getting rid of a
lot of these versions that I don't need.
Yeah, we're gonna trim this down quite a
bit. There we go. All right. So let's
close that. And again, If we want to get
those versions back, we can go to the
Recycle bin and you see, there they are,
all of my different versions, and you
could restore any of those if you needed
them. So now you know how to delete a
major version of a document in a
SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time.
