How to manually delete previously published versions of a workflow. 
INSTRUCTIONS
When published, all Nintex Workflows are stored in a hidden library. Previous versions can be accessed and deleted manually from here.
  1. Navigate to the Hidden Nintex Workflow library: http://YourSiteAndSubsiteURL/NintexWorkflows/ This is a standard SharePoint library with versioning enabled. Each folder in this library represents a published workflow. Within each folder are the individual files that make up the Workflow.
  2. Open the folder that corresponds to the Workflow that needs versions deleted.
  3. Each of the files that make up the Workflow will have a version history attached. Expand this and delete the version(s) that need to be removed. Do this for each file in the folder.
This process will remove the previous versions of the workflow. Please note that once deleted these versions will NOT be accessible from the Workflow Designer and will be lost unless restored from a backup or the site recycle bin. If restored Nintex cannot guarantee that they will function correctly so we recommend doing this only if there is a strict business requirement to remove the versions entirely.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please note that this process is not strictly necessary in regular day to day operations as you can choose to block or remove previous versions from the "Workflow Settings" list page.
