To use the SharePoint steps in K2 Workflow Designer, you must have SharePoint installed in your environment. To see the version of SharePoint that K2 supports, view the Compatibility and Support Matrix.

Drag the Delete Library step from the SharePoint category, Favorites bar, or the Recent category onto the canvas.
