The Delete an Execution capability gives you a simple but powerful lever: the ability to remove a running or completed instance of a flow. For business leaders, that translates into clearer operational control, better cost management, and stronger privacy governance without wrestling with technical details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn everyday operations, not all workflow instances should continue to live forever.

Each time a flow is triggered, Twilio records an execution — a snapshot of that interaction's state and what the flow is doing. Deleting an execution means terminating that snapshot and removing it from active records so it no longer consumes system attention or appears in operational views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFrom a business perspective, this is less about the technical mechanics and more about lifecycle management. You decide when an execution is no longer necessary — whether because it completed normally, was started by mistake, was exposed to an error condition, or contains personally identifiable information that must be removed. Deleting is a deliberate act that frees up attention and resources and prevents ongoing or accidental actions tied to that instance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAI and agentic automation transform Delete an Execution from a manual cleanup task into a proactive governance and efficiency tool.
