Deleting State does not remove it from the Kanban Board

Question

I am editing an existing workflow and deleted a State. The State contained no Issues and there are no transitions to or from it.

In Kanban's 'Configuration' → Column Management' the deleted State is removed. However, the State is still shown in the Kanban Board.

Why and how do I remove  it?

Have you published the workflow? If so try re-indexing

The columns of the Kanban board are different to workflow states.  You need to delete the Status from the workflow (as you have done) and also delete the column from the Kanban board.
