Good day,
I have to run a flow each day to update datas. When I run them a new Version of the document is always created.
I have around 24 GB of Datas, Each File multiplied by 100.
So I have 1,4 TB of data and my Storage is full.
MY QUESTION: Does anybody know how to delete all old Versions of a File in Sharepoint as it is not possible to set Versions to a lower Number then 100
Thanks

Hi @mardex,
Please refer to the following steps to delete the old versions of each file in the SharePoint library:
Step 1: Add Get files(properties only) action to get files in the list.
Step 2: Add Send an HTTP request to SharePoint
Method: GET Uri: _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Dynamic content of Folder Path')/Files('Dynamic content of File name with extension')/Versions
Step 3: Parse JSON, put the body of the previous action into the Content of Parse JSON action, then click the button "Use sample payload" to generate schema to paste the following schema:
{ "type": "object", "properties": { "d": { "type": "object", "properties": { "results": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "__metadata": { "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "type": "string" }, "uri": { "type": "string" }, "type": { "type": "string" } } }, "CreatedBy": { "type": "object", "properties": { "__deferred": { "type": "object", "properties": { "uri": { "type": "string" } } } } }, "CheckInComment": { "type": "string" }, "Created": { "type": "string" }, "ID": { "type": "integer" }, "IsCurrentVersion": { "type": "boolean" }, "Length": { "type": "string" }, "Size": { "type": "integer" }, "Url": { "type": "string" }, "VersionLabel": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "__metadata", "CreatedBy", "CheckInComment", "Created", "ID", "IsCurrentVersion", "Length", "Size", "Url", "VersionLabel" ] } } } } } }
Step 4: Create the other Send an Http request to SharePoint:
Method: DELETE Uri: _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Dynamic content of Folder Path')/Files('Dynamic content of File name with extension')/Versions(ID from the previous action)
Please have a try, I hope it can help you.

To delete old versions, you'll need to use the SharePoint HTTP action and call a SharePoint web service. I can't provide the specifics, but that's the route you'll need to go. Another way to approach this might be to create a new document (based on the old document including metadata) and delete the old one rather than updating the existing documents in your Flow.
thanks, I expected this. So it will be a hell of work for me as a non professional

Hi there,
Is it possible to set this up to on-demand remove all of the previous versions in a selected folder only, rather than daily automation for the whole library?
I would like to be able to select a project folder within a library once that project is completed, delete all the previous versions, keeping only the final files and then mark all files in that folder as read only so that no new versions are created if people then go and look at the files as reference for another project.
Many thanks
Chris
Many thanks
This is exactly what I am looking for, do you have more details you can provide on this or a video you can point me to on how to create this flow? When I create the Uri there is no dynamic content to choose from. It seems some steps are missing. What trigger do you use? I tried using scheduled once a week. Also is there a way to keep say 5 versions?
This is what i want to do. but the things is I will exceed the 500 Apply to each limitation as I have a lot of files in a folder + subfolders. is there anyone can help?
PnP PowerShell should become your fried if it is not already. There a ton of good resources available to answer you requirements or get you headed in the right direction. Salaudeen Rajack at https://www.sharepointdiary.com/ is an outstanding resource. He has been very generous in sharing many PnP scripts to accomplish a task, and all of them can be adjusted to do more or less, or become very granular.
Hop over to https://www.sharepointdiary.com/ and search for "delete versions" or Google it. I've modified the available scripts for date ranges, file types, selection by user, operations on specific folders and more.
First thing I did was to set max versions to the minimum of 100 in the SharePoint admin center. 100 is as low as they allow you to go. It would be fantastic if MS would reduce the number to something more reasonable.
Next thing was to delete all version of any image file (JPG, TIFF etc.) There is a script at https://www.sharepointdiary.com/ to delete all versions. Just modify it for the file type or file extension you want to delete all versions for.
Next verify you users are okay to retain 1, 2, 5, 10 versions of an MS Office file type or extension, then modify and run the available script to delete all but "x" number of versions for that file type. I got rid of many PPTX, DOCX and XLSX version. Some of the PPTX and DOCX are huge files.
Use use an image size reducing app to shrink your pictures, then go back and delete the picture versions. Irfanview is a great free tool for shrinking images.
Have your users reduce the size their PowerPoint files. The go back and delete old versions again with PS PnP.
Once you have your PS scripts tuned they way you need them, schedule them to run daily/weekly/monthly.
SharePoint Flows are good but can be a challenge to get right. For me, PowerShell scripting and automation is the way to go. Much more intuitive and flexible. There isn't too much you cannot accomplish with PS.
Oh yeah, keep your Recycle Bin and Secondary Recycle Bin emptied on a schedule. Yes, there is a PS script for that.
I recovered 700+ GB by doing the things listed above, and significantly reduced my personal workload by automating with PS.
I was asked where I found the max versions setting.
Document library settings cog in upper-right > Library Settings > More Library settings > Versioning settings.
Additional info can be found at SharePoint Online: Set Versioning Limit using PowerShell - SharePoint Diary
Hi I am running into an issue when following this example. When i create a library with a few files for testing it worked. When i revert back to the main task of deleting old versions from a library with subfolders i keep being told file error. Am i missing a trick with a setting when it is for a large library?
Many thanks for you help
Assuming you are trying to delete versions with PowerShell and PnP from a library with more than 5k items... There is a limit to how many items that can be retrieved at one time. The -PageSize flag to limit the number of items retrieved per-page to less than the 5000-item limit enforced by SharePoint, which cannot be changed. I usually limit to 2k items per page, which works 99% of the time. In rare cases where 2k still causes problems I drop it to 500.
Here is a basic example script that deletes all versions for JPG images, modified within the last 60-days, and edited by a particular user.

This works awesome for jpg files. How can I make it do all files in a site not just jpg files?
Is there a way to apply this only to files which haven't been used vor let's say 100 days?
Thanks!
Can anyone help me build a flow with this exact function but for OneDrive for Business?
hello, I'm following this example but....
the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@body('Analize_JSON')?['properties']?['d']?['properties']?['results']' is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array.

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members! The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza. The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups. Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings. The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community. One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals. With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.
