Add checkbox "do not create folders of the OldVersions"

[DDP-ED]

Tired of these trash folders, all project directories littered with these OldVersions folders.
Why do I need them every day to clean hands? It's crazy. Should be given a choice to opt out of creating these folders.
Make a checkbox in the system settings: if anyone needs OldVersions folder, leave the default, and who don't need these trash folders - shut down that they no longer bothered.

So Inventor has never crashed on you and corrupted the file your working on?

That's awesome! I'm so happy for you Dude 😉

You may find the 'Old versions to keep on Save helpful'. It won't clear up those pesky folders, but you can set it to 0 to prevent inventor creating back ups.

I've never used a single oldversions file.  These folders only clog up the server and waste space.  I constantly go thur and try to keep some of them deleted.  I thought at one time it didn't create these folders.  When you thousands of parts on your server it's annoying that you have a folder(s) that contain no files.  All those extra folders cause me anxiety knowing they are there and are empty.  Give use the option to turn off the creation of them.  Period, no questions asked, just do it. NOW!!!
