Overview
This node deletes a specific execution in the n8n system after the node is executed. It is useful for cleaning up or managing executions by removing those that are no longer needed, such as completed or failed workflow runs.
Use Case Examples
- Deleting an execution by its ID to free up system resources.
- Removing test executions after workflow development.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for n8n API authentication to perform the deletion.
Troubleshooting
- If the execution ID is missing, the node throws an error indicating that the Execution ID is required.
- If the API request to delete the execution fails, the node throws an error with details from the API response, helping to diagnose issues such as invalid ID or permission problems.
