Hello Amir,
on zh-wp we delete the old version. The old version is no more used at all, and thus no more fair to keep them. Still provide them so that users can find them and copy them looks for me like distributing copy violated content.
Greetings Ting

Hello,
There's a bit of discussion about deleting old versions of fair-use files in the Hebrew Wikipedia and it may be interesting to other projects as well.
The main questions is: Should old versions of fair-use files be deleted? The two main points that support the deletion are that it saves space on the server and that keeping a version of a non-free file violates the fair use policy, because the old version of the image can be viewed, but is not actually used in any relevant article.
I just want to see if I understand this correctly. Is this a reference to files where the current revision is included in some article based on a fair use rationale, but the file also has earlier versions that are not so used?
Yes, that's exactly what i referred to.
