Use this interactive demo to learn how to permanently remove an unmanaged flow in Salesforce.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to delete a flow in Salesforce using Advanced Setup and the Flows manager. Only unmanaged flows can be deleted, and the process requires adjusting edit access before the Delete option becomes available.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon at the top-right menu of the Salesforce dashboard.
  2. Select Open Advanced Setup from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Quick Find search box, search for and select Flows.
  4. Scroll down, select an unmanaged flow, then click the dropdown button on its right-side menu.
  5. Select Edit Access from the dropdown options.
  6. Click Save to apply the access changes.
  7. Click Delete to permanently remove the flow.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to delete a flow in Salesforce helps admins keep their org clean, maintainable, and free of outdated automation. Unmanaged flows that are no longer needed can clutter the Flows list and cause confusion during audits or debugging. This process — navigating to Advanced Setup, adjusting Edit Access, and confirming deletion — is a critical admin skill for Salesforce Flow management. Mastering it reduces technical debt and ensures only active, relevant flows remain in production.
