Removing versions of code.

Hello, I am working with Vault 2.0.6 on both server and client. I am looking to reduce the size of the database because it is getting out of control huge. It has code going back several years. So I would like to delete versions of code that older than 2 years (unless it happens to be the current version). How can I pull off something like this?

Thanks

There's no way currently to remove history from the Vault repository.

How big are your database .mdf and .ldf files? Have you tried shrinking the database and/or truncating the log file with SQL commands?

Yes, I've tried that and it helped a little bit. But the bottom line is that there is a ton of code there and tons of revisions.
