- Jul 13, 2023I figured out the solution by my self, I'm using education version so this may not work for your business version. (But it should)
1. Creating a new version each time you edit the file isn't a bug, it's a feature a lot of people complaining about.
2. Microsoft has removed the no versioning option since a couple years ago, by now you can only limit the version through this path:
settings/more settings/return to the old site settings page/Site libraries and lists/Customize "Documents" /Versioning settings
OR
return to classic one drive/site settings/Site libraries and lists/Customize "Documents" /Versioning settings
3. You may still need to delete the old versions, deleting the old versions one by one isn't practical at all, here's how to delete them all at once:
return to classic one drive/right click on the file you want/delete all versions
yeah I know you still need to delete versions one file by one file, but at least not one version by one version...

Delete the old versions or edit the file outside of OneDrive.

There's more than one version created as I added one chapter, so I had a file with 400+ version.
