So, unless you implement a proper business end / cancel in your process, there is no way to do what you want and still retain history information.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 May 2012 13:16:02 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/delete-or-cancel-workflow-instance/m-p/276345#M229475 afaust 2012-05-28T13:16:02Z
