Note You don't need to be an admin to have the Manage Flow permission. Ask your admin to add it to your profile or permission set.

1. Open the Flows list view.
    
    - From the Automation app, select the **Flows** tab.
    - From the **Flows** tab in any Lightning app, click the actions menu and select **Open Flow**.
    - From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Flows, and then select **Flows**.
    
    Note that the Automation app and Flows tab options don't require Setup access.
2. Click an existing flow to open it, or create a flow by clicking **New** or **New Flow.**
3. If the target group is collapsed, expand it so that you can see the elements inside it.
4. On the element card for the element you want to delete, click ![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/platform_automation/images/actions_icon.png), and then select **Delete Element**.
    
    The element disappears from the group, and the surrounding elements reconnect on the path.
5. Save your flow.
