Whenever we edit and save a post or page in WordPress blog, WordPress creates a revision of that post or page. Say, if we are editing the post 15 times then 14 copies would be saved unnecessarily as revisions in wp database , resulting in MySql overhead. The only current revision is what is in published state and is shown to your users.

The remaining ones are just a replica of what you try to save and are useless. They acquire just your database space. You get the extra useless records inserted in your tables. These records should not be there in the table. Either after some period of time, you need to go to the backend and delete these extra rows from the table or alternatively, you can use any plugin for this that cleans these revisions automatically.
