If you are building workflow applications with K2 blackpearl for a while, you probably have a good number of working instances of workflow in K2 Workspace. Knowing how to remove these is particularly handy during development and testing when you have multiple instances of workflow with different deployed processes.
By removing the older instances, you will save lots of time matching an instance with a particular version of deployed process. Another important benefit is saving hard disk space. In my development environments, the data center only allocate us barely enough space (go figure). Being able to remove the old workflows and log entries saves us many hassles.
