Hi Josch,

this is an old unresolved issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-996

Vote and hope, someday it will come true ;-)

Best regards

This is now possible in Confluence 5. To remove a page history, navigate to the page where you want the history to be removed > Click on Tools > Page History > Under Operations, click on Remove. Once removed, you can't undo this action though and it has to be done per page.

Using Confluence CLI you can use removePageVersions to remove more historyversions in one time, for instance every version before a date, or to keep last n versions.

Take a look at https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-removePageVersions

There is no Remove option in Page History for me. Do you need to be an admin?

Jason Papadopou

Hi, you do need to be an admin - I ran into this myself, and for me the only visible operation was to restore a previous version of the page. With the help of our admin I was able to remove the old version.

Thanks, this was most helpful! Any chance, a simillar functionality exists in JIRA? Sometimes users post passwords and similar information here and we need to be able to clean it up for good.
