Delete a response

You can delete a test or unwanted response from your form's Submissions table. It's permanent, so you can't get the response back.

1. Open your form and click Submissions.
2. At the top of the table, click Completed or Partial to find the response.
3. Hover over its row and click the trash icon, Delete.
4. In Confirm Deletion, click Delete. Click Cancel if you've changed your mind.

You delete responses one at a time. The table has no checkboxes and no bulk delete.

#What changes after you delete

The response no longer appears in your CSV or XLSX exports.

If the respondent picked an option that has a capacity limit, deleting their response frees that spot for someone else.

#If you can't delete

Don't see Delete? Your role may not allow it. You can delete responses if you own a personal account, or if you're the owner or an admin of a team. Team editors and viewers can't.

You might also see "Submission delivery is finishing; retry deletion shortly". Makeform is still sending that response to one of your integrations. Wait a moment and try again.
