Hi @motebus

if you are logged in, then when you view a flow you created, you should see the following options in the sidebar:

![Dashboard_Nest_thermostat __flow__ -_Node-RED](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/7/7723ec7b49565b245b153c7a5d074fb3b1d1a7b8.png)

Hi,

Some how I broke a connection to the library flow and github when updating and then I couldn't access the original flow submission to remove it. Can you remove this flow? [https://flows.nodered.org/flow/381151591811867c36d9acb145111577](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/381151591811867c36d9acb145111577)

If you search for IOT2050 you will now see two versions, one that works and this one above that gives: 404 - Thing not found.

Sorry, and thank you...

Hi, sorry, I have the same issue with:

[https://flows.nodered.org/flow/808886a415e59d737229dd74a382a5b5](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/808886a415e59d737229dd74a382a5b5)

Mine is not duplicated, is just pointing to nowhere. If you can please remove I'll recreate a correct one.

Regards  
F.

Hi @ffich, I'm on vacation this week. Don't have remote access to remove the flow. Remind me in a week if I haven't got to it.

These are the only ones of yours I can find - which one should be removed ?

Hi @dceejay, it happened again with Jupiter Example 01. This time I think i got the root cause. I had renamed the Readme.md file under my git account (from Readme.md to Jupiter Example 01.md), saved and synched. After a while I updated the description and tryed a new sync. After I tryed to sync the link was immediatly broken. I don't know if is a bug or the intended behaviour, but anyway I don't have necessairly the need of renaming the readme under git. If someone can please delete Jupiter Example 01 and Jupiter Example 02... now I know how to avoid the issue from happeing again.

Yes that would do it. You must have a readme or we won’t publish it

Ok @dceejay, that makes sense to me.  
If you could please delete Jupiter example 01 and 02, I'll publish them again whitout touching the readme.

hmm -actually I can't from the default ui - will need to wait of @knolleary to get back from vacation. - or maybe you can rename them back to README.md in your gist.
