Topic

When attempting to save or publish a new Workflow, the following error might occur:

Nintex.Workflow.WorkflowRepository.NameInUse

The full error in the ULS logs will include:

Nintex.Workflow.WorkflowRepository.NameInUse(String workflowName, Guid listId, WorkflowType& workflowType)


Instructions 

Find and delete any empty folders from the Nintex Workflows hidden library. The library can be found at:

http://<Farm>/<Site>/NintexWorkflows

Once the empty folder is located and deleted the Workflow should publish correctly.


Additional Information

This is caused by an empty folder in the hidden Nintex Workflows library in the site.
