Disable Version Control?

It's messing with me.  All I want to is delete a file.  Yes, I've read about the work around to move files to a "Trash" project.  I would like to disable version control.  I've got things I'm working on that are version 52, b/c apparently I'm prudent with the save button.  Can this madness be stopped?

I'm trying to delete a file that's referenced in an old version, that being 51, but the current revision is 52.  I'm not able to edit version 51 to remove the reference.  Do I understand that correctly?  B/c I clicked the save button at an inopportune time, I'm stuck with not being able to delete a file b/c there is a reference that can no longer be edited?

no, there is no way to turn off versioning.  You can download the latest version as a Fusion archive of the top level design, and re-upload it.  That will create a new design with no older versions., then you can delete the original version, including the one you are worried about deleting.

I experimented with copying the file after each save, so I get a fresh v1, and then delete the v2.  That way all my versions are 1, unless I forget to make a copy after each and every save.  From now on.  Hundreds of times a day....  Could that be a way to do a behind the scenes version disable?  When I click save, save a copy which would give me a v1, then delete the v2?  Is there a way to automate something like that?
