How to Trash or Restore Forms in Your Organization from the Admin Console

February 19, 2026

Managing forms effectively is essential to keeping your organization organized and up to date. Through the Admin Console, you can move forms to the trash when they are no longer needed, helping reduce clutter and ensure that only relevant forms remain active.

Forms moved to the trash are not immediately deleted. However, if no action is taken within 30 days, they will be permanently deleted.
