Delete ex-employee (owner) workflows from server

Hello

 

How can ex-employee (owner) workflows be deleted from the server, if at all possible?

eg.  'Bob' is no longer employed at our company.  Bob was owner of the assets published to the server.  We would like to 'delete' Bob's assets.

 

Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Hey @HomesickSurfer, one option would be to use the server API - use an initial call with the GET {baseURL}/v3/users/{userId}/assets endpoint, specifying workflows, and then another call using DELETE {baseURL}/v3/workflows/{workflowId} to action it.
