Delete files in Workflow Orchestration Manager

This article walks you through the steps to delete directed acyclic graph (DAG) files in a Workflow Orchestration Manager environment.

Important

Workflow Orchestration Manager (powered by Apache Airflow) will be permanently retired in Azure Data Factory on December 31, 2025. The feature is now available in Microsoft Fabric. Learn more

We recommend that you migrate all Workflow Orchestration Manager (Apache Airflow in Azure Data Factory) workloads to Data Workflows (Apache Airflow in Microsoft Fabric) to benefit from expanded capabilities before December 31, 2025.

For more information or for support during your migration to Apache Airflow in Microsoft Fabric, contact Microsoft Support.

Prerequisites

Delete DAGs by using Git sync

When you use the Git sync feature, it isn't possible to delete DAGs in Workflow Orchestration Manager because all your Git source files are synchronized with Workflow Orchestration Manager. We recommend removing the file from your source code repository so that your commit syncs with runtime.

Delete DAGs by using Azure Blob Storage

  1. In this example, you want to delete the DAG named adf.py.
