Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to delete a typeform.
Can I recover a Typeform after I delete it?
No, deleting a Typeform is permanent and irreversible. Once you confirm the deletion, the form and all its responses are permanently removed from your account. It's important to verify you're deleting the correct form before confirming the action.
Will deleting a form affect my other Typeforms?
No, deleting a Typeform only removes that specific form and its data. Your other forms will remain completely unaffected and continue to function normally. You can delete forms without worrying about impact on your other projects.
What happens to responses when I delete a Typeform?
All responses and data associated with the deleted form will be permanently removed as well. If you need to preserve the responses, download or export your data before deleting the form to avoid losing important information.
Can I delete a form that's currently embedded or shared?
Yes, you can delete a form regardless of whether it's embedded on a website or actively being shared. However, after deletion, the embedded form will no longer function and shared links will no longer work, so notify your audience before removing an active form.
Is there a way to delete multiple Typeforms at once?
Typeform typically requires deleting forms individually through the options menu for each form. If you need to remove multiple forms, you'll need to repeat the deletion process for each one, but this ensures you don't accidentally delete the wrong forms.
