Purging Asset Versions

  1. Click File > Purge Asset Versions. The Purge Asset Versions dialog box appears.
  2. Select how you want to purge asset versions:
    Asset Type
    Use this option to select specific types of assets from which to delete versions.
    Project
    Use this option to select specific projects from which to delete versions.
    Number of versions to keep
    Use this option to delete older asset versions in excess of the number selected. For example, if you select 2, the last two versions of the asset are kept and the rest are deleted. The minimum number of versions you can keep is 1 and the maximum number of versions is 32767.
    Note: All actual checks are kept during purge and are deleted when results are deleted. Expected checks that are in use by results are also not deleted. After a purge, more expected checks that specified might be retained. For example, if 5 versions of an expected check are referenced by test results and you want to leave only 3 versions for each asset after the purge, all 5 versions of the check that are referenced by results are retained.
    Delete versions modified before
    Use this option to delete asset versions modified before the specified date. You can select a predefined modified date from the list or choose a custom date between 01-01-1970 and 12-31-3000.
    Note: All actual checks are kept during purge and are deleted when results are deleted. Expected checks that are in use by results are also not deleted. This might lead to situations where expected checks are retained which are older than the date you have specified.
  3. Click the Purge button. A message box appears indicating the number of assets that will be deleted. Click Yes to proceed or No to cancel.
    Note: If an asset or multiple assets could not be purged, the message box will indicate the number of assets that could not be purged. This is usually due to another user having the current version of an asset opened or the asset has been deleted while the purge is occurring.
