Unable to delete workflows
Any help is greatly appreciated!
See attached sample file where a tab named List is hidden. Lists on that sheet are dynamically adjusted according the filter(s)/criteria already applied on the Query tab:
With Data formatted as a structured Table, FILTER formula on the Query tab is:
=LET( Filtered, FILTER(Data, IF(ISBLANK(B4), 1, Data[Application] = B4) * IF(ISBLANK(C4), 1, Data[Type] = C4) * IF(ISBLANK(D4), 1, Data[Series] = D4) * IF(ISBLANK(E4), 1, Data[Size] = E4) * IF(ISBLANK(F4), 1, Data[Geometry] = F4) ), IF(QueryCriterias, Filtered, "Select at least a criterion") )
Where QueryCriterias in defined in Name Manager as: =COUNTA(Query!$B$4:$F$4)

ellan1537 If I understand the problem you want disassociate the workflows from the items so that the workflow should not run for the list/library. To achieve that you are trying to delete the workflow.
As the error message you have given I he only see that during folder deletion not workflow deletion I have to test it. But instead of trying to delete you can always try to go the workflow setting for the list/library
Click on the Remove,Block or Restore a Workflow
That will eliminate the SharePoint designer dependency. Hope fully this helps marks the response appropriately.

If I look from list UI, I don't see any workflows associated with the list. But, through 2013 designer UI it shows there 2 approval workflows associated for the same list. I'm trying to get rid of them.

Fortunately, SharePoint designer allowed to delete approval workflows completely after a day. Might be a small glitch for a moment.
