I am using WP-CMS Post Control ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/ )to stop revisions on pages and posts but hadn’t found anything to get rid of existing revisions. Thanks to @Darryl for the lead to WP-Optimize ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-optimize/ ) this has just saved me 3782.504 Kb of revisions space in my database from my 81 posts so far.

Love handy tips like these, thanks! Will give it a try. If I delete any important stuff, I’ll get Louise to contact you. Directly :0

Ah, nice one Darryl; I must admit, for most people, performing a SQL query is above and beyond their knowledge, so having a problem is far easier, thanks for sharing!

You can also use something like http://www.ruhanirabin.com/wp-optimize/ which is what I use on my blogs. It’s better if you are not too keen on getting into the backend of things.
