SharePoint 2010 - Powershell Script to Disable Versioning on a specific List & Delete Old Versions
This will remove versioning from the list you specify & update every item so that the old versions are deleted. Great for really large lists/libraries that don't require versioning when you want to free up some space. $web = get-spweb "http://root/site" $list = $web.Lists["List Name"] $list.EnableVersioning = $false $list.Update() foreach($item in $list.Items) { $item.URL; $item.SystemUpdate(); }
