How to Delete a Form

March 6, 2025

Removing old or unused forms helps keep your account organized. It declutters your workspace and ensures that you’re only working with relevant forms. If a form contains sensitive information or personal data, purging it ensures that the data are no longer accessible.

Deleting Individual Forms

You can delete a form in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Type at the top and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Forms, so only they’ll be shown on the page.

  1. Now, hover your mouse over the form you want to delete, and click on More on the right side of the page.
  2. Then, in the Dropdown menu, under the Form column, click on Move to Trash.

Deleting Multiple Forms

You can also delete multiple forms at the same time. Here’s how to do it:

  1. While your assets are filtered by the Form type on your My Workspace page, put checks in the boxes next to the forms you want to delete.
  2. Now, in the menu at the top of the page, click on Move to Trash.

Purging Deleted Forms

Deleted forms are automatically disabled by default and moved to the Trash folder of the My Workspace page. You can purge forms just as easily as you can delete them. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on the Trash tab on the bottom-left side of the screen.
  2. Now, click on Type at the top of the page, and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Forms, so only they’ll be shown on the page.
