# [Set Up Your Project] - Delete a Workflow

This page explains how to delete a workflow from a Contentstack stack, intended for developers or stack administrators who no longer need a workflow and want to remove it either via the UI or by using the API reference.

## Delete a Workflow

You can delete a [workflow](/docs/developers/set-up-workflows-and-publish-rules/about-workflows) from the [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack) if you no longer need it.

To delete a workflow, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://app.contentstack.com/#!/login), and perform the following steps:
- Go to your stack, click on the “Settings” icon (press “S”) on the left navigation panel.
- Click on **Workflows** (press “**alt + F**” for Windows OS, and “option + **F**” for Mac OS).
- On the **Workflows Settings** page, you will see a list of existing workflows.
- Hover over the workflow you want to delete, and click on the “Delete” icon.
- Confirm the delete action by clicking **Proceed**.
