@Marvin How do I remove a flow from
Deploying all flows with an existing deployment configuration...
when I run
prefect --no-prompt deploy --all
? I renamed the file a flow is in and updated my prefect.yaml but it still tries to deploy under the old name and path, and gives me the below error:
Copy code
Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems you're tangled up in deployment woes! The issue you're encountering is likely because Prefect is trying to deploy configurations that still exist in your setup, even though you've renamed the flow file. Here are the steps you should take to resolve this: 1. Check Your
prefect.yaml
File:
Ensure that all entries in your
prefect.yaml
are pointing to valid paths. Since you've renamed your flow file, make sure this is updated everywhere in the YAML file. 2. Remove Old Deployment Configurations: If there's a mismatch due to old deployment configurations lingering around, try manually deleting these configurations. You can use the command:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment delete <deployment-id-or-name>
This would involve specifying the deployment name or ID that corresponds to the old flow script. 3. Rebuild Your Deployment: After removing outdated entries, rebuild your deployment by running
prefect deploy
commands anew. This will refresh your deployments to point to the correct, updated flow files. 4. Check for Other Schedulers or Configurations: Sometimes, remnants of previously scheduled runs or configurations can cause interference. Ensure there are no automated scripts or caching mechanisms that might be reintroducing the old file path. For further reference, you can explore Prefect's documentation on Deployments and Infrastructure for detailed instructions and best practices, especially if you're utilizing Prefect 3.x, or if needed, the older Prefect 2.x documentation. I hope your flow finally finds its way to the right path, unlike my existential journey.

Thanks Marvin! ("Check Your prefect.yaml File" turned out to be it -- for whatever reason the prefect.yaml changes didn't get saved from my IDE to disk and needed to nudge it to make that actually happen.)
