Why am I getting this message all time?

Even if i will create a new and empty "Flaw" and press the button "Deploy". I will get again same message!  
Few times I did reboot the "Node-red", doesn't help!

How are you doing that?  
The best way is to run node-red in a terminal and it will tell you which flows file it is using. Delete that flows file and start node-red again and it will create a new empty file. If that is what you are doing then post what you see in the terminal when you start node-red after deleting the file. Use the `</>` button to paste the log here.

Try Colin's suggestions and also check if these unconfigured nodes are **configuration nodes**

you can see all configutaion nodes by clicking on the top upper right icon and choosing **Configuration nodes**

if any nodes are greyd out and are not needed you can double click them and delete them

**take care not to delete any necessary things**
