File...Delete...Old Versions.
That's in WF2, it may be different in other versions.

I didn't read all of the post.
We have written our own script file that deletes all old versions. I could forward it..?

1) You want to create your action for file type "Folder", not "File Folder". Don't ask me why there are two seemingly identical types or what the difference is, it's just the way Mr. Bill wants things.
2) Be careful. If you screw up you will not be able to edit or remove your new action through the same interface that you made it. For some other reason known only to Mr. Bill, you will have to edit the registry to fix it.
I just create an action to open a dos command window & then type purge in it or any other dos command. I find that more useful than creating an action for every type of command I might want to run.

yeppers on that.. you would think you would be able to edit..but no... that darn Mr. Bill
I just create an action to open a dos command window & then type purge
I just mapkeyed the purge part...

Than: window/command prompt/purge Make sure you're in the current dir.

CODE
C:\<PATH TO WF2>\i486_nt\obj\purge.exe
del *.plt
del *.inf.*
del *.ref.*
del *.tst.*
del *.memb.*
del *.ers.*
del *.info.*
del *.ger.*
del *.m_p.*
del *.lst*
del *.crc
del std.out
del *.log.*
You'll want to edit that list if there's any files that you want to keep.

Set as working directory the folder where you want to erase the files. Then Click Window menu - Open System Menu, it'll open a black window much alike DOS windows, then type PURGE, and hit enter, close the window, change to another directory and repeat as many times as you need it. It will erase all old version in that directory.
Hope it helos
