   Warning:
   When unregistering a dataset or feature class as versioned in ArcCatalog, a warning dialog box may appear informing you that outstanding edits still remain in existing versions. Unregistering the class as versioned will remove all the edits. To preserve the edits, it is necessary to compress the database before registering the data as versioned. See Related Information.
