Delete a form

    Note: You can also log in to Office.com, look for the Microsoft 365 icons on the left, and then select Forms.

  2. Click More form actions More options button in the upper right corner of the form tile, and then select Delete.

    Note: If you don't see the Delete option, scroll down to the bottom of your page and select All My Forms.

    On the form you want to delete, select More options in the upper right corner of its tile, and then choose Delete.

    To confirm the form will be moved to the recycle bin, click Continue.

Note: Once in the recycle bin, a form will remain there indefinitely unless you intentionally delete it from the recycle bin as well.

    Note: If you're using the Microsoft Forms app on Office.com and restore a form, you'll find it back on your All forms tab.

Note: When you delete a form in the Recycle bin, the form and all of its responses are permanently deleted.

Notes: 

  • Each Forms user can create up to 200 single forms, which include those in the recycle bin. (For example, 150 forms in the Microsoft Forms portal + 50 forms in the recycle bin = 200 forms.)

  • If you have both a Forms account and Dynamics 365 Customer Voice (formerly Microsoft Forms Pro) account, your 200 forms limit spans both accounts.

Permanently delete forms in the Recycle bin

  1. Select the Recycle bin icon in the lower right corner of forms.office.com.

  2. In the upper right corner of the Recycle bin for My forms page, select Empty recycle bin.

  3. In the Empty recycle bin dialog box, select Yes to permanently delete all forms in the recycle bin.

Notes: 

  • If you're using the Microsoft Forms app on Office.com, you won't be able to bulk delete forms. Instead, you'll need to delete forms, one by one, in order to permanently remove all forms from the Deleted forms tab.

  • If you need to permanently delete all forms in one click, go to forms.office.com, then follow the steps in this section to access Empty recycle bin
