Hi. It's an easy mistake to make, but you are probably confusing the audit trail of changes with the actual versioned content. So that list you mentioned is the audit trail of changes that have been made. This doesn't get deleted, as I guess it's important to have a full audit of who did what and when. Think of it as a log of changes.
To check if the actual previous versions have been deleted you can click the "Rollback" button (on same tab). This will list all the previous versions, so you can see how many there are.
