### 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 ,

```
{

// be achieved and disks have too many inconsistent versions.
func reduceCommonVersions(diskVersions [][]byte, writeQuorum int) (versions []byte) {
	diskVersionsCount := make(map[uint64]int)
	for _, versions := range diskVersions {
		if len(versions) > 0 {
			diskVersionsCount[binary.BigEndian.Uint64(versions)]++
		}
	}

	var commonVersions uint64
	max := 0
	for versions, count := range diskVersionsCount {
		if max < count {
