# Removing/Deleting a Revision

# Removing/Deleting a Revision (v14+)

## What

We can create revisions, so of course we want to be able to delete them as well.

## When/Why

We'll usually want to delete revisions whenever the revision is no longer pertinent. We would probably always leave the N-1 version of our fileset, but if we have older revisions, we would certainly want to clean up to save on disk space.

## How

If we go into the "Manage Revisions" view, we can select a revision and hit the minus sign to remove it. If no associations exist for that revision, we'll simply get a prompt to confirm:

But, if there is an association, we can choose to remove the association outright, or switch it to another revision:
