Remove version

To remove a version of versioned documentation in Docusaurus, follow these steps:

Steps to Remove a Version in Docusaurus

1. Update the versions.json File:

   • Open the versions.json file in the root of your project.
   • Remove the entry corresponding to the version you deleted.

   Example versions.json before:

   [
     "1.0.0",
     "2.0.0",
     "3.0.0"
   ]

   After removing version 2.0.0:

   [
     "1.0.0",
     "3.0.0"
   ]

2. Optional: Locate the Versioned Documentation Folder:

   • Versioned documentation is usually stored under the versioned_docs and versioned_sidebars directories in the root of your project.

   Example structure:

   versioned_docs/
   ├── version-1.0.0/
   ├── version-2.0.0/
   └── version-3.0.0/
   versioned_sidebars/
   ├── version-1.0.0-sidebars.json
   ├── version-2.0.0-sidebars.json
   └── version-3.0.0-sidebars.json

3. Optional: Delete the Versioned Files:

   • Identify the version you want to remove (e.g., version-2.0.0).
   • Delete the corresponding folder in the versioned_docs directory and its sidebar file in the versioned_sidebars directory.

   Example:

   rm -rf versioned_docs/version-2.0.0
   rm versioned_sidebars/version-2.0.0-sidebars.json

4. Optional: Verify Links and References:

   • Check your project for any references to the removed version (e.g., in docusaurus.config.js or custom navigation menus).
   • Remove or update those references to prevent broken links.

Additional Notes

• Be cautious while removing a version, as it permanently deletes the associated files.
• If you want to archive the version instead of deleting it, consider moving the files to a backup directory.
