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 vertical ellipsis of the desired form.
  2. Click Trash.
