### 3.2 Automatic removal of noncurrent versions keeping only most recent ones after noncurrent days

It is possible to configure automatic removal of older noncurrent versions keeping only the most recent `N` using `NewerNoncurrentVersions`.

e.g, To remove noncurrent versions of all objects keeping the most recent 5 noncurrent versions under the prefix `user-uploads/` 30 days after they become noncurrent ,

```
{

	}

	sort.Slice(versions, func(i, j int) bool {
		if versions[i].IsLatest {
			return true
		}
		if versions[j].IsLatest {
			return false
		}
		return versions[i].ModTime.After(versions[j].ModTime)
	})

	for i, fi := range fivs.Versions {
		if fi.VersionID != versions[i].VersionID {

	}
	versions, buf, e = msgp.ReadIntBytes(buf)
	if e != nil {
		return 0, buf, e
	}
	if versions < 0 {
		return 0, buf, fmt.Errorf("decodeXLHeaders: Negative version count %d", versions)
	}
	return versions, buf, nil
}

// decodeVersions will decode a number of versions from a buffer
// and perform a callback for each version in order, newest first.

sleep 10
