are you able to see all workflow instances on console. There is one command to fetch all inflight workflows. Then try to delete one by one with their id. If you look carefully all commands on the console you will get both of these commands.

Hi Mita,

Yes I can see them, I tried to delete the 3 of them one by one but still it doesn't allow me to delete any of them :

delete workflow activiti$15458

org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 02250024 Failed to delete workflow instance {0}.

Same for "end" workflow. I am working on a Maven Project.

That's strange because the new Workflows I initiate now are removeable.

I found an error message :

Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Process instance is still running, cannot delete historic process instance: 28001

How can I stop the process instance ?

Yeah so the issue is you have changed your workflow definition after words and those instances are from old process definition file.
You need to switch back to that previous version of process definition file delete those workflows and again switch to new version.

Thank you very much for your help Mits. How can I switch to my previous versions ?
I tried "use workflow definition ….." in my console, then I tried to delete manually one by one. It still doesn't work. Is it the right way to switch to the previous versions ?
