AEM How to Purge Versions of a Web Site

Solution:
To purge versions of a web site, proceed as follows:

• Navigate to the Tools console http://localhost:4502/misccadmin# and select Versioning and double-click Purge Versions.
• Set the start path of the content to be purged (e.g. /content/geometrixx-outdoors). a. If you want to only purge the node defined by your path, unselect Recursively.
• b. If you want to purge the node defined by your path and its descendants select Recursively.
• Set the maximum number of versions (for each node) that you want to keep. Leave empty to not use this setting.
• Set the maximum version age in days (for each node) that you want to keep. Leave empty to not use this setting.
• Click Dry Run to preview what the purge process would do.
• Click Purge to launch the process.

Caution:
Purged nodes can not be reverted without restoring the repository. You should take care of your configuration, so we recommend you to always perform a dry run before purging.
