Hi,

There is a console to deploy/undeploy workflow definitions and workflow instances. The url is the next one:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp

You can apply commands such as :
deploy activiti alfresco/extension/workflows/SomeProcess.bpmn20.xml
undeploy definition activiti$SomeProcess:2:1204

Here is a great tutorial created by Jpotts where you can find more useful commands
