Cannot Delete Automator Workflows

Thank you, Viking, that is helpful but doesn't solve my issue, unfortunately. I had already gone to Services (empty) and Spotlight only returns the two Workflows that I wish to keep. There are two Workflows that appear in the context menu when you right-click Automator: 'Untitled' and 'Close All Apps' (see below image that is created with you click on 'Show all Windows' after right-clicking on Automator). Those are the ones that I cannot locate and therefore cannot delete (and they don't appear in a Spotlight 'kind:workflow' search).

Thanks Viking, I am new to Mac OS (since March of this year). Image below shows the two workflows that Spotlight doesn't find and which appear in the context menu of Automator when you right-click it from the Dock. The first one is one that works and I would keep ('Quit all Applications') but the next two ('Untitled' and 'Close All Apps') are phantom files.

Hi Luis. Thank you for your contribution. Left or right-clicking on the 'Untitled' workflow as seen in the second screenshot doesn't result in anything happening, I'm afraid, which was one reason why I sought assistance here. I though, if it opens, then surely I'll be able to find it in Finder /Applications. But no, neither it nor the 'Close all Apps' workflows shown in the screenshot do anything when clicked. The only Workflows in Finder /Applications are the ones that currently do something, namely: 'Quit all Applications' and another one I subsequently made called 'Quit Apps Not Chrome or Mail' (leaves those two apps open).

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge to Run Applescript although you did teach me something there, that you can drag the Terminal app onto the Script Editor app and then, I suspect, run commands not dissimilar to what I was used to in Windows Powershell, for example, but I wouldn't know where to start in Unix.

Hi Viking. Thank you for that! Nearly there. The Automator /File/ Open Recent/ Clear Menu did indeed clear all of the Workflows shown in the right-click contextual menu apart from one, 'Untitled', which remains (which is odd). Not sure if I'm right about this, but what I was trying to achieve is just having one active workflow, not multiple choice, so that when I left-clicked on Automator in the Dock it would just run, without having to select the desired Workflow from the contextual menu, which opens the Automator interface, and then having to click on Run for the desired process. That is how it used to work for me, at least, when I first set up the original 'Close All Apps' Workflow, which I've since replaced with the standard Library 'Quit All Applications' Workflow.

Hang on ... just right-clicked Automator again and now the 'Untitled' Workflow is also gone. Thanks very much indeed! However, still haven't figured out how I originally had it set to simply run the one Workflow when left-clicking the Automator icon in the dock. That's how it used to work but now I have to open Automator and select the saved Workflow and click Run in Automator. Would be just as easy to close all of the open apps in the dock, one at a time.

Scratch that! 'Untitled' did indeed disappear, and now it's back again ... go figure! 🙂.

Sorry, I'm being thick. 'Untitled' reappeared because Automator was running in the background and there was an as of yet 'untitled' workflow ... my bad.

Here is another image of it ... this time right-clicking on Automator instead of clicking on 'Show All Windows'. It's the 'Close All Apps' and 'Untitled' workflows that are phantom files.

Thanks, Luis, that's a great suggestion, I'll be looking into how to create a QA.
