VersionsManager overview
VersionsManager is an application that allows you to inspect and optionally delete old 'versions' of your documents that have been stored automatically by your Mac.
Since OS X 10.7 'Lion', most Mac apps automatically store not only the latest version of any document, but all previous intermediate versions are stored too. These previous versions can add up to many gigabytes of 'wasted' disk-space since it is common to have many hundred old versions for the files you have been working on. For most files you know that the latest version is 'good' and that you won't ever need access to previous versions anymore. Even if you do need an old version of a file, you can restore old versions if you have enabled the 'TimeMachine' backup-feature of OS X. Also, these old versions are useless as a back-up because they are stored on your main disk and are automatically deleted when you delete the corresponding file. VersionsManager can display all files which also have additional 'old' versions stored. You can also inspect all old versions and compare them to see what has changed. If you are sure you do not need those old versions you can delete them individually or all at once. If you are are sure you don't need any old versions of your files you can even delete all old versions on you Mac at once, reclaiming gigabytes of space with a single mouse click.
Note: This application contains in-app and/or external module purchases.

Hi
VersionsManager is a very helpful Tool for everyone that work with Document Types like Office,Txt, and hole other Files that can be edited in Osx.
Apple mean that they must make every Document save for the user and take some Snapshots from every editing, these Snapshots can (can not must) use many many Space on your Disk .
It is simple if you not work on your Mac with such Documents VersionsManager can't free much Space but if you work every Day with such Document Types you can free with VersionsManager many Space.
I use every Day many Types of Documents and change them often so here I can use that Tool very well, VersionsManager does a good Job here.

Version: 1.1.3
Note that Apple does not save the versions in full but as increments, hence the reported savings are not real. For example I had a file with 19 versions claiming I would save nearly 9GB of space. Upon deleting the versions (with Keynote), I only saved a few hundred megabytes (or less) since all of the versions were nearly identical. So, it is useful to find those version files, but not very useful for finding a lot of wasted space, IMHO.

Version: 1.1.2
The software is free but the statement "Remove gigabytes of superfluous old files" is misleading as this option is not free but has to be purchased for $5. The free version will only find filed and not delete them,
The statement should be removed or amended.
