“The worklfow name is used elsewhere on this site. Please choose another name in Nintex Workflow”

Solution:

There is a hidden list that contains the workflow definition files. You may need to remove the specificfolder (with the workflow name) to remove the workflow completely. If your site ishttp://test01/sites/test/ the url would be http://test01/sites/test/NintexWorkflows/.
