+8Hello
On a SP13 list, you can click the 3 dots on the linked item but sometimes it collects multiple “workflow” options in the drop down and you have to check each one to see which one is valid. I have learned that you can go into list settings and rename the active one so that you can tell them apart but the old ones are still in the list as inactive options. Is there a good way to clean this up so only the one active one is listed? Thanks!
it looks like you have for unknown reason allowed create instances for previous versions of a workflow
+11Or someone just had fun with custom actions 
Open your list in SharePoint Designer and see if there are custom actions created that could explain what you are seeing in the list item menu.
Cheers

+8Unfortunately, my company does not grant me SP designer access. Thanks for the reply though.
+11I would not say "unfortunately" in this case. I wished this this policy would be communicated as a best practice by Microsoft... Thumbs up for your company 
However, we can also use PowerShell in this case.
Getting all custom actions for the list:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://paul.dev.local/sites/dev/
$list = $web.GetListFromUrl('http://paul.dev.local/sites/dev/Lists/XXX/AllItems.aspx')
$customActions = $list.UserCustomActions
foreach($ca in $customActions)
{
$ca | select Title, Description, ID
}
Deleting a specific custom action via powershell:
$ca = $list.UserCustomActions.Item('XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX')
$ca.Delete()
Where XXX-XX... is the ID of the custom action you receive from step one.
Cheers
Philipp
