- 4 years agoHi KeithWayne, welcome to our Community and to Dropbox!
You can't actually manually delete the version history for file, however, depending on your plan, the version history will be deleted by itself at some point.
If you don't want to have older versions of a file visible, deleting the old file before uploading the new one, would be a great workaround.
And you can always use our Idea board to submit your idea for a possible feature!
Let me know if you have any questions.

It does not appear to me as a solution. The point is; at times you have a version of your file that is definitely wrong and you do NOT want for any reason or error that version to be restored. How can you permanently delete it from the Version History? You would like to keep the other versions but not the wrong one/ones.
