You will need to develop this yourself since share does not allow selecting/deleting specific versions.

But all the functionality is provided. Check this post: Alfresco: Max Version Policy – I exist as I am

Hi Dirk,

You can write a cron scheduler that can check for docs that have been validated for over 6 months.

The context file containing the information about the cron should be placed at repo-project/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/extension and should look like this.

You can also checkout this link for the logic that you should replicate to delete the versions of the file.

Thanks
