Mass delete unused flow and process builder versions in Salesforce

Many people wonder how to remove inactive versions flow and process builder.

I also had such a problem as the deployment went all over the branch and the versions accumulatedvery quickly especially on the integration environment.

Hope this helps you.

The URL is the address of your org.

Version restriction made to not touch the old versions.

You can upgrade the query as you like. 

New version for removing flaw from the sandbox using an array.
Added a feature: do not delete the last N versions from the active version.

How to find deployed Components in an Org with Deployment ID?

You can use the Rest Explorer in Workbench (https://workbench.developerforce.com/restExplorer.php)

to make a call to retrieve the components included in the deployment. 

When in the Rest Explorer use a Get with a path of 

"/services/data/v49.0/metadata/deployRequest/<DEPLOYMENT_ID>?includeDetails=true"

(replace <DEPLOYMENT_ID> with the id you see in the Deployment Status e.g. Name:0Af1E00009PLDQ)

What can I deploy? (Metadata API, Source Tracking, Packag, Change Sets,...)
