Workflow Stopping (me too! - RSWWERRE doesn't help)

Thanks for the responses.  Now I need to clarify the situation in which I
was considering using it.
 
We have installed a new set of workflows into Production but are not yet
ready to activate them.  Unfortunately one of the Workflows was active for
half a day and created a work item which the user executed and because their
authority had not been completely set up, it errored.
 
I want to delete this work item (in PROD) using RSWWWIDE but would like to
know if when I delete the High Level Work Item will all the associated lower
level Work Items also be deleted, or do I need to delete them all
individually ?
 
Thanks
 
Warwick.
