Delete a flow that you no longer need.

## Before you begin

Role required: flow_designer or admin

## About this task

You can only delete flows that are in the same application scope as the current session. You can't delete flows that are read-only protected. If your instance uses domain separation, make sure that you are in the Global scope. For more information, see [Domain separation and Workflow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5zmb66KJ8WtSKcoMyZWvMg "Domain separation is supported in Workflow Studio. Workflow Studio supports domain separation of business logic, which lets each tenant domain have its own flows, actions, and subflows. Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data.").

## Procedure

1. **Optional:** If needed, change application scope to that of the flow you want to delete.  
   For more information about changing application scope, see [Exploring Next Experience pickers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=next-experience-pickers&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).
2. Navigate to AllProcess AutomationWorkflow Studio.
3. On the homepage, select Flows.
4. From the list of flows, select the box next to the flow you want to delete.  
   Tip:  
   You can filter the list of flows by name or application. For example, selecting the Filter icon on the Name column, selecting the contains operator, entering the string <kbd class="ph userinput">demo</kbd>, and selecting Apply displays all flows that have the string demo in the name.
5. Select Delete.  
   If the delete option is unavailable, you may be in the wrong application scope, or the flow may be read-only protected.  
   Workflow Studio displays a confirmation window.
6. From the Confirmation window, select Delete.
