Deleting states in SBM Composer - what happens to the items that were in the now deleted state?

Hello everybody, I want to modify a workflow with the SBM Composer. If I delete a state, but there are still current items in this state in the SBM Workcenter, what happens to these items? Will they be deleted or transferred to another state? Or what happens to these items? Thank you!

    When a state is "deleted" is marked as no longer available, but it's not actually deleted from the database. No items can be moved to a "deleted" state, but any items are were in a deleted state will still be in that state. To move these items, keep the transitions that move the items to the next state. Little by little, any items in this deleted state will be moved on and nothing will be left in that state. Another option would be to do a mass update to move everything from the deleted state into another state. 

    I hope that helps
