# Deleting an inactive process flow version

## Introduction

It's often useful to refer back to an `inactive` version of a flow for a reminder of how things used to be set up. However, retaining multiple `inactive` versions for lots of process flows may impact flow run performance. With this in mind, it's good practice to remove older, `inactive` versions, periodically.

## The steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Access version details for the required process flow**

Open settings for the required process flow and scroll down to the `versions` panel.

For detailed instructions, please refer to [Accessing process flow versions](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-versioning/accessing-process-flow-versions.md).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Access version actions**

Click the ellipsis icon associated with the `inactive` version that you want to remove, for example:
