# 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.
