Deleting version history

As you progress an object through the Version Control workflow, GPOADmin keeps an audit trail, as well as a history of all minor and major versions. If you no longer need to keep this history, you can selectively delete any of the versions except your last backup. Only the object settings are deleted; the audit trail is preserved, and you still see the entry in the object history. Deletions are permanent.

If required, you can select to remove the user account associated with the action from the view.

Expand the Version Control Root node, and the required container.

In the History dialog box, select a version from the list. (Press CTRL and click to select multiple versions.)

You can only delete major and minor versions. If you have Show All Events enabled, events that have occurred between versions cannot be deleted, as there are no settings associated with them.
Delete: This will delete the backup associated with the action.
Delete and Clear Account: This deletes the backup and clears the account name associated with the action.
