- 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.

I have wasted so many hours with this and have uninstalled every other cloud service I use (why, oh why do I even need to do this?!)...has it really come to this that Dropbox requires it be the *only* cloud service or Finder Extension with Finder icons used on my Mac?! I have de-installed them all, and still I keep losing my Smart Sync icons in the macOS Finder. So frustrated with all of these Dropbox idiosyncrasies that I just don't know anymore whether it's worth the trouble at this price.

I just temporarily fixed it by force-quitting my SetApp and BetterZip Finder Extensions, both of which I need, both of which have nothing to do with the cloud, proving to me that Dropbox does indeed require that it be the *only* active Finder Extension on my system. How is that ok?!!
The joke is that if I don't run Dropbox, all the other Finder Extensions can coexist peacefully. What does that tell us about Dropbox's quality control?
