Question

How can I clear/reset the workflow count for a list. This list items have already been deleted, but the "Workflows in progress" numbers are still the same. I would like to reset these numbers to zero. Plus I'm worried that these are in fact still pending and using up server resources.

What confused me is that the "Workflow Health" status seems to be correct. enter image description here

Any Ideas?

I finally figured it with some help from the post below. https://www.sharepointeurope.com/wfinstancemanagementdb-in-workflow-manager/

The dbo.Instances table within the WFInstanceManagementDB database is key here.

After deleting all orphaned/suspended workflows here, the progress list was cleared.

Finally piece of mind!

Although this mind not be the best recommended way, it definitely worked for me. So just in case some one has the same issue, make sure you use with causion!

OTHER TIPS

You can cancel the in progress workflow by PowerShell. Please refer to old discussion here for sample code and reference.
