I created a bunch of custom activities and now realize I don't need half of them, I want to delete them to clean it up, why can I not do this, or can I? What am I missing?

    Hi @Selenium,

    Unfortunately, this is a limitation, however, I would be happy to pass along this feedback for you! Additionally, you can always share this in the "Ideas and product feedback" section of the Community!

    It is not possible to delete custom activity types (they can be deactivated), however, you can edit the name and icon so instead of adding new activity types in the future, you can always rename the custom activity!

    I hope this helps to confirm!

    Hi @Sophie,

    I understand that custom activities cannot currently be deleted, only deactivated. However, I find it a bit surprising that users are unable to remove activities they created themselves. Over time, work processes evolve, and having outdated or unused activity types lingering in the system can create unnecessary clutter.

    Would it be possible to introduce an option to delete custom activities in the future? I believe this would help users maintain a cleaner and more efficient workflow.

    Thanks for considering this, and I appreciate all your efforts!

    Best
