Deleting forms

You can delete a form that you no longer need. At first, the form is not deleted permanently but is moved to the recycle bin. If you later decide that you do want to keep your form, you can then restore your form.

To delete a form permanently, you can either delete the form from the recycle bin or you can empty the recycle bin – which permanently deletes everything in it.
