    I'm having the same issue. I'm writing an intro for a book. Every time I save a version and send it to my editor, while I can come back and start work again on the open document, the saved version (which I no longer need) cannot be deleted even after I'm asked if I want to! Insane. I now have like half a dozen previous versions that I can't get rid of.
