Is it safe to delete this folder? I find half of hard drive is occupied by this folder. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Q: Can I delete or empty".DocumentRevisons-V100"?
If you don't want to be able to restore to a previous version of a document you edited, then you could delete it. I've never done it, so I'm not sure of the results besides losing all previous version information.
I'm not sure why it would get so large, though.
Does the list command in Terminal give you the same results:
ls -alh /
Just copy and paste the above command into Terminal. It will list the contents of your root folder. Look for .DocumentRevisions-V100 line and the size listed before the date.
I don't know how to disable it. Here's something I googled: http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/11/disable-auto-save-and-versions-in-mac-os-x/
It is supposed to just store changed "chunks," but I don't know enough to determine what size a "chunk" should be.
Seems like yours is out of control. Perhaps deleting the folder and making it start over might make it more manageable.
