Delete a form entry

Delete a form entry (written instructions)

All form entries are deleted automatically after seven days (apart from those to the Family and Friends test form which are deleted after 60 days), but it is useful to know how to do this manually. Ensure that you are logged into your website. The black admin toolbar should be visible at the top of the screen.

Click the name of your website in the admin toolbar to go to the Dashboard.

Hover your mouse over Forms in the left-hand sidebar. Select Entries from the drop-down menu that appears.

This will bring you to the Entries screen. You have to select a form from the form drop-down menu at the top of the screen to see its responses.

Hover your mouse over the drop-down to expand the menu. Click on the name of the form with an entry that you would like to delete.

Find the individual form entry that you would like to delete, and hover your mouse over its name. Click the red Bin link from the set of links that appears.

The entry has now been moved to the bin, but it has not been deleted permanently. To do this, click the Bin link.

Click the red Delete Permanently link. The entry will now be completely removed from your site. NOTE: While a form entry is in the bin, it can be restored by clicking the Restore link below its name. Once deleted permanently, it is irretrievable.
