Unable to delete Run Action in SharePoint Designer workflow

Question

 When I try to delete the "Run Action" Workflow Action from a wrokflow, the Workflow Designer removes the action from the list of actions but when I get back to the Workflow Step, the Run Action is there. Basically this Run Action is doing nothing but I can not get rid of it for some reason? Is there something I am missing?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You have also posted this in a SharePoint forum - I then moved it to the SharePoint -Workflow forum which is the right place for it.

Unfortunately I have no moderator rights to delete it here as a duplicated, so I'm deleting it there as a duplicate.

Next time (and every time) don't post an identical question to two or more forums.

I had the same problem.  I recorded the actions before and after the "Run Action" statement in the the Workflow.  I then had to open the .xoml file from the Folder List/WorkFlows.  Right-Click the .xoml file and select open with SharePoint Designer open as xml.  I found the offending line and deleted it.  I identified it as the only SequencyActivity that did not follow the same format as the others.  It only had one line.  Mine looked like this <SequenceActivity x:Name="ID30" />
