OK,<br />
In this case you can try to delete the workflow association with the list (List Settings\Workflow) then the column for that association should be deleted.

Hi,<br />
<br />
we did that but for whatever reason, it still shows.<br />
<br />
Normally when we delete a workflow the column gets deleted too automatically, but it seems that older versions of the workflow, even deleted ones,<br />
show up when we can build/modify views. &nbsp;We can delete the list and start over but there is too much invested in it already.<br />
<br />
It's weird!

Hi,

modify the view and remove/unselect the workflow column...

SeanUK777, I know that can be done but that's not what I'm trying to do. &nbsp;When a workflow is deleted, it's supposed to delete the the status column also but in my case it's not. &nbsp;It's just a nuisance.

I have workflows that I have deleted but the columns remain. &nbsp;<br />
Any ideas on how to permanently remove columns that show workflow progress?<br />
