The count (S3) starts only after the file type changes. It does not work retroactively (it's against the SCM philosophy).
If you want to remove (physically) old revisions, your only option is obliterate.

Some SCM admins philosophically object to this approach. I used to object to it, too, but finally outgrew this feeling. :-)

Alright. Thanks for the quick respons.
I actually fixed it and was about to remove the "cry post" when I saw
the new post.
I went and set the p4config to the one for the workspace which automatically
set
it as active client.
I am able to change all the files, but there is still more than 3 revisions.

Anything else I need to do to update it?

I'm not sure what 3/3 or 3/6 are in this message.
If I have #1-#6 of a file, I can obliterate any of those revisions, say, #1-#3, leaving #4-#6 intact.
That's from Perforce POV, of course.
Our users don’t like "holes" in the history, so we have a convention not to obliterate "in the middle" (or for that matter, sources of integrations). But that's only because we don’t like it - Perforce would happily obliterate anything. :)

I think the quickest way here is to remove the whole server and reinstall and
set the new typemap to -S3 before adding anything new.
From what I can see in Obliterate, you cannot remove every rev lower then
three
from(and including latest) without checking each file before. I wouldn't
want to remove 3/3, but want to remove 3/6, keeping top three. Or am I
wrong?
