I have several workflows in my farm which have been running properly until this morning when I noticed that all started instances were showing the same error below

When is try to start the instances manually I get this;

And when I try to view the WFs on the design canvas I see an exception with no workflow displayed

Please help. I have logged a support ticket with Nintex, but I thought is should also share this in the community incase someone has experienced the same scenario

Is it a production server? Have you the chance to restart it ?

Yes its a production environment. I deleted some items in the NintexWorkflowHistory list and the workflows started as expected. But I still cant tie that to the actual problem. The list had about 205,000 items, reduced it to around 170,000. And this was a tedious and time consuming MANUAL process as deleting through the GUI and using PowerShell failed. I'm still on that operation!
