Hi,

Previous revisions of what, posts/pages?

This plugin does the job:
WordPress › Remove Revisions « WordPress Plugins

It says: "This plugin is able to automatically remove revisions older than n days."

Hope this help,
Mohsin

I'm also wondering why deleting past revisions is such a mystery.
Why can't there just be a little trash can icon next to each revision?

I can "permanently delete" a page with 2 clicks of the mouse -- but deleting a revision requires a 3rd party plug-in???

You are right, for now there is no native function from the dashboard to take care of these revisions.

You can set number of revisions at most in your wp-config file, again you need to go to code... plugins help you do this database operation.

Maybe in future there will be native support so you can manage and delete revisions from the dashboard without any plugin... it is already voiced and being discussed here, as other users also have felt same as you do :

You don't need a plugin to modify revisions.
If you can FTP, then you can modify your wp-config.php to alter the revisions like so:
Code:

define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 60 ); // Seconds (default is 60) define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false ); // Disable the post revisions define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 6); // Alter the number of post revisions kept.
You would add those (or the one you want) to the wp-config.php file.

Change the numbers and false/true to what you want or just disable post revisions completely by changing the false to true.

There are several more things that can be done, but these are some basics.
