Hi all. day 2 of node-red here and have a slight annoyance 🙂

since yesterday each time I press `deploy` I get this message (error?) complaing about `The workspace contains some nodes that are not properly configured:` (see screen)

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/5/f/5ffe9cb977da50b820e2216ec3c209000c9e48c4.png)

I have searched for nodes contain these but could only find what seems some natives sub flows

how does one go about dealing/debugging with this?

thx so much in advance!

Go to the sidebar, click config tab, click unused, then click unused items and press delete, then redeploy.

Are you on the unused tab, as it looks like that is all tab. Also make sure none of your flows contains nodes with red warning triangles.

the home assistant one with 77 configs is not being used, double click it and delete any configs not being used. If all 77 are not being used then just delete the whole thing.

What do you see if you search (`CTRL-F`) for `is:invalid ` ?

thx guys!

@Steve-Mcl

yes the `is:invalid` search did do the trick and showed some sub flows that when deleted removed the error message. I hope these sub flows didn't contain critical things to note-red 😃
