Manually delete versions?

Pydio Cells

Describe your issue in detail

Exploring Pydio Cells - and i created a new datasource + workspace. When I created the datasource, i created with a 30 day versioning policy.

I then added thousands of pictures to the workspace / datasource - and have decided that i don’t need versioning for pictures or this datasource. - so i went back and disabled versioning on the datasource.

however, it looks like versions are still available in the versions datasource/folder and taking up quite a bit of disk space. will these versions go away after 30days? or is there a way to manually delete them?

Thanks in advance

What version of Cells are you using?

Pydio Cells Home Edition 4.3.6

What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

Hi, thanks for posting!
First, yes it is the “expected” behavior: we do not delete revisions if you disable versioning, to avoid loosing data without control. I admit this is some kind of option that should be implemented.
Now to access the versions, you can create a workspace on the “versions” datasource to crawl the files and remove them from there. Not really easy as they are just named with {uuid_revision_id}… But if you do not use versioning anywhere else, you can safely delete them from there.
