After downloading your form’s submission data, you may want to delete some from your Jotform account and keep only the most recent ones. This guide shows how to delete your form’s submissions in Jotform Tables.
Note
Deleted entries are stored in Trash temporarily for 30 days. To free up your upload space, go to Trashed entries and purge your deleted submissions.
Deleting a Specific Entry
To delete a submission
- Open the entry’s menu in the first column.
- Select Move to Trash from the menu.
Deleting Multiple Entries
To delete multiple entries
- Choose the entries using the checkboxes in the first column.
- Select Delete in the upper-right corner.
- In the confirmation dialog, select Move to Trash.
Deleting Submissions Based on a Filter
To delete filtered entries
- Select Filter next to the search field in the upper-left corner.
- Configure your filters in the dialog. To learn more, see How to Filter Entries in Jotform Tables.
- Select Apply Filter at the bottom.
- Choose the entries to delete from the results. See Deleting Multiple Entries.
Deleting Trashed Entries
To permanently delete the trashed submissions
- Open the main tab’s menu in the upper-left corner.
- Select Trashed entries.
- In the Trash panel, choose the entries to delete, then select Delete Forever.
- Select Delete in the confirmation dialog.
Auto-Deleting Form Submissions
Suppose you manage your records in third-party services like Google Sheets or Airtable and don’t need to keep the data in Jotform. You can configure your form to delete your form entries automatically.
To auto-delete submissions
- In the Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
- Select Show More Options at the bottom.
- Scroll down to Auto-Delete Form Submissions, then select Enable.
- Choose the Deletion Period, then select Next.
- Review your settings, then select Yes, Update.
For more information, see Deleting Form Submissions Automatically.

There has been a mistake. I received notice that my account has reached its submission limit. This is not possible. Could someone please help?

I just deleted most of the submissions I have made and I also deleted them from the trash; however, neither my monthly submission or total submissions totals decreased. I was expecting both to decrease especially since I deleted dummy test data and don't want them to count against my plan. Please explain. Thanks ahead!

I did this and even logged out and back in, but my usage limits are still the same even though all but 3 of my submissions have been deleted. I haven't had to worry about this for years and then out of the blue I get an email stating my limit is close to reaching. The last form submitted was with two pics that were less than 1MB each and that was almost 2 weeks ago. Why now?

I've followed the instructions for deleting submissions, and my total submission numbers haven't changed. I've double checked the trash on each form submission page, and there is no longer anything there (in trash). Does it take awhile for the total submission numbers to get refreshed? Seems like lots of people are having this issue....

Hi, I too have deleted most of my files, then emptied the trash (deleted forever). I show nothing archived and nothing in my trash but my limit says I'm 91.74/100 MB. Does it take time to stop getting the message showing I'm nearing my limit?

I’m unable to use this function to delete the submissions on this form. When asked for my password, I enter my Google password as that is how I log in but receive a message that the password is wrong and the process is aborted.
I would appreciate it if someone in support can delete all records. We’ve been testing and and nearly ready to push this form live so even though I did download all these records, we don’t need them in Jotform any longer.

Hi there!
I've got a message from JF indicating the forms will be disabled due exceeding the storage space and submissions limits.
I have deleted hundreds of submissions and uploads but the cunt is still not going down. Have refreshed the site, and checked within the account settings, but the number of submissions remains same as before deleting lots of them.
Could you please let me know if there is anything I am doing wrong in the process of deleting data?
Thanks!!

Yes, I’ve already deleted old submissions to clear up space.
I am still getting overlimit message and that my form will be disabled.

Is it at all possible to give the ability to the form submitter to delete their own submission sometimes in the future? I understand they can get a link which enables them to edit the form contents at a later time. But what I am thinking about is a button somewhere on the form that gives the form filler / submitter the ability to delete the entire submission in one fell swoop :o) Is there such feature available?

Hi there
I cant seem to figure out how to clear my upload space? i have deleted all previous submission etc but the upload space is still saying its full?
Can you help?
Thanks
More than a year ago
This was helpful.
I wanted to ask, however, if the 100GB storage that I have as a Silver Plan account is renewed each time I delete old submissions? When I was on the trial plan, I noted that even when I had deleted sample submissions that I had sent, I was always given a warning that I was close to reaching my upload limit.
I don't need to store all the data I receive after the analytics. So if I clear the submissions at the end of every month, does that refresh my 100GB storage?
Thanks.

Thank you, I learned a lot about this new feature. I believe that it will be the best approach for me. We are implementing a mentorship program and this will allow ease of use for people who vary in computer/smart phone skill. The card as oppose to the form seems as if it will be helpful.

I like what you are trying to achieve but it really needs more testing. I'm using jot form cards and experiencing a few issues which make the overall user experience clunky. It also looks awkward on iphone 7. I think once you have the finer details sorted you will have a great product. If you want to get in touch I'd be happy to explain the problems I'm having.

I have never been in more contact with jot form help since i went to jotform cards. A great idea but just doesn't work. You released them too soon before testing them out. Now my form won't submit because I removed the google recapture. Just cannot waste anymore time on this stupid invention. I am going to Formstack.

When can we expect a save button. I had a client just complain that she lost all information after filling the form. People getting turned off by not being able to save. It is not encouraging to those of us that love using Jotform.

Jotform cards are a major pain. They don't fit into websites which use sticky navigation at the top. Form jumping is a constant issue especially with mobile devices. Conditions are very limited. You can't hide the submit button. Address fields are displaying multiple choices & easily confused by customer with similar street address or business names in another state or city displayed by Google maps. (which becomes a major misunderstanding issue, causing multiple calls or email just to verify that the input info was correct) Also, instead of displaying several most default fields like name, email, phone, address which can be auto-filled - customer now have to do it in 13+ steps. After 4 or so steps people get annoyed, lost and leave the forms incomplete.
In theory it all sound good, but it's more of a headache to deal with than anyone needs to. (And it's all for that sliding effect appreciated by only one - website owner) I also love the way Jotform crew would edit or delete legit reviews, grievances and suggestions, but keep junk posts like these below:
