Similar Question.

Thanks, Alex

Really nice script from Damiaan - remove log entries and clean up old versions and previews:

-- Umbraco Clear Old Document Versions To Decrease Database Size And Improve Performance
-- http://borism.net/2008/12/16/fixing-a-large-cmspropertydata-table-in-umbraco/
DECLARE @createdDate Datetime = DATEADD(m, -1, getdate())

-- dump logs
-- TRUNCATE TABLE umbracolog -- faster if log table is very big and you don't need anything
DELETE FROM umbracolog WHERE Datestamp < @createdDate


-- clean up old versions
DELETE FROM cmsPropertyData WHERE
    versionId NOT IN (SELECT versionId FROM cmsDocument WHERE updateDate > @createdDate OR published = 1 OR newest = 1) AND
    contentNodeId IN (SELECT DISTINCT nodeID FROM cmsDocument)
DELETE FROM cmsPreviewXml WHERE
    versionId NOT IN (SELECT versionId FROM cmsDocument WHERE updateDate > @createdDate OR published = 1 OR newest = 1) AND
    nodeId IN (SELECT DISTINCT nodeID FROM cmsDocument)
DELETE FROM cmsContentVersion WHERE
    versionId NOT IN (SELECT versionId FROM cmsDocument WHERE updateDate > @createdDate OR published = 1 OR newest = 1) AND
    ContentId  IN (SELECT DISTINCT nodeID FROM cmsDocument)
DELETE FROM cmsDocument WHERE
    versionId NOT IN (SELECT versionId FROM cmsDocument WHERE updateDate > @createdDate OR published = 1 OR newest = 1) AND
    nodeId IN (SELECT DISTINCT nodeID FROM cmsDocument)

--http://blog.dampee.be/post/2015/11/28/Remove-Old-versions-of-Umbraco-Previews.aspx
delete
--select *
from cmsPreviewXml
where versionId in (
    select cmsPreviewXml.versionId
    from cmsPreviewXml join cmsDocument on cmsPreviewXml.versionId=cmsDocument.versionId
where cmsDocument.newest <> 1)

Thanks,

Alex

Any chance you found a way to do this yet?

I also look for a way to do this automatically on Umbraco 8.

Anything new here ? :)

is working on a reply...
