Clearing Version history for file in Users OneDrive folders

[StevenReid]

Hi All,

Is there a way to find out the current version history for a file in a users OneDrive folder, and then remove the old versions?
I have seen code for deleting versions for files that are stored in a standard document library, but I cannot find anything to cope with OneDrive folders.

Some of these files have 1,000's of versions that cant be cleared via the browser.

Thanks

Thanks in advance!
Steve

You can access a users OneDrive documents folder as a normal SharePoint document library with PnP PowerShell:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://mytenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/myuser_mytenant_com

However, not sure why though, we have no cmdlets available for handling version of files. I'll see what we can do in that area.

A short update: the upcoming July version of PnP PowerShell will contain these new cmdlets:

Get-PnPFileVersion, Remove-PnPFileVersion, Restore-PnPFileVersion

Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply! Just putting it out there, Will the Remove-PnPFileVersion allow for the removal of all old versions, or would it need to be in a loop to work through them all.

It will allow you to remove all versions. No loop needed.
