Delete resources
A specific version of a resource, meaning a process or decision definition, can be deleted from the Processes and Decisions pages.
Delete process definition from Processes page
To delete a process definition from the Processes page, take the following steps:
- On the Processes page, select a specific process version by filtering by process name and version.
note
Make sure the selected process definition version has no running instances, otherwise it is not possible to delete a process definition. You can cancel or resolve running process instances from the process instances list or from the process instance detail page.
- Click the Delete button at the top right.
- Confirm the delete operation by checking the checkbox and clicking Delete.
note
Deleting a process definition will permanently remove it and will impact the following:
- All the deleted process definition's finished process instances will be deleted from the application.
- All decision and process instances referenced by the deleted process instances will be deleted.
- If a process definition contains user tasks, they will be deleted from Tasklist.
- The progress of the delete operation can be seen in the Operations panel on the right side of the screen.
Delete decision definition from Decisions Page
- On the Decisions page, select a specific decision version by filtering by decision name and version.
