Managing Forms | Deleting a Form - Zoho Forms

Deleting a Form

If you no longer require a form, and would like to remove the form and all its associated data, you can choose to move them to the trash or delete them permanently. 

Moving a form to trash         

When you move a form to the trash, it will be available in the trash folder for 15 days before it is deleted permanently. Once a form is moved to trash, you cannot access the data and attachments associated with it. The form permalink becomes invalid and the section where the form is embedded in a web page will be broken.

 

To move a form to trash,
  1. In the forms listing under My Forms, hover over the horizontal ellipsis of the desired form.
  2. Click Trash.

  3. In the pop-up click Yes.

Restoring a form    

If you change your mind after moving a form to trash and decide to restore it, you can do it within 15 days of moving a form to the trash.

To restore a form,
  1. In the Forms tab, click Trash on the left menu.
  2. Hover over the form that you wish to restore.
  3. Click Restore.

Note: Only forms available in the trash can be restored. Forms that were deleted permanently cannot be restored. 

Deleting a form permanently    

All forms moved to the trash will automatically be deleted permanently after 15 days. If you want to delete the forms before that permanently, you can access the trash and delete them manually.

To permanently delete a form,
  1. In the Forms tab, click Trash on the left menu.
  2. Hover over the form that you wish to restore.
