# workflows versions delete

## Synopsis

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions delete VERSION_ID 
  [--workflow=WORKFLOW_ID]
  [--force]
```

## Description

Delete a specific version within a workflow. When a version is deleted, it becomes unusable for future runs, but a reference to the version is retained for provenance purposes.

## Examples

Delete a version

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions delete v1 --workflow wf12345
```

Delete a version using the `--force` flag without prompting for confirmation:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions delete v2 --workflow wf67890 --force
```

## Positional Arguments

## Flags

### `--workflow`=`WORKFLOW_ID`

**Required**. Specify the identifier of the workflow from which you want to delete the version.

### `--force`

Delete the version without prompting for confirmation. Use this flag if you want to force the deletion.
