Hi @grahamjones26,
you can try to use this script below:
# This script deletes all but the last 5 versions of each document in a SharePoint Online library
# Connect to SharePoint Online site
$siteUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite"
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteUrl -Interactive
# Get the library name
$libraryName = "Documents"
# Get all the items in the library
$items = Get-PnPListItem -List $libraryName
# Loop through each item
foreach ($item in $items) {
# Get the file object
$file = $item.File
# Get the versions of the file
$versions = $file.Versions
# Sort the versions by creation date in descending order
$sortedVersions = $versions | Sort-Object -Property Created -Descending
# Skip the first 5 versions and delete the rest
$sortedVersions | Select-Object -Skip 5 | ForEach-Object {
$_.DeleteObject()
}
}
You need to adapt it to your tenant and to your needs.
