When you upload a new version of a file, Box keeps a copy of the older versions to allow you to compare changes, see who made what changes, download a copy of a prior version, or even set a prior version as the current version of the file displayed on Box.
Sometimes, however, you may wish to remove prior versions.
Tell Me
To remove a version, navigate to the file that contains the version you wish to delete.
Below the file name, you should see a blue icon that shows the version number in the format "V#."
Click on the icon, and you will be presented with a Version History window.
Click on the "X" icon to the right of the version you wish to delete.
