How to Delete a Response in SurveyMonkey

Use this interactive demo to learn how to permanently remove a survey response in SurveyMonkey.

Quick summary

To delete a response in SurveyMonkey, navigate to Analyze Results, open the Individual Responses section, and use the trash can icon or the arrow menu to permanently remove the selected response. Note that once a response is deleted, it cannot be recovered.


Steps

  1. Open the survey for which you want to delete the response by clicking the ellipsis icon.
  2. Navigate to Analyze Results to view the collected responses.
  3. Go to the Individual Responses section.
  4. Once you are on the response you want to remove, click the trash can icon.
  5. Alternatively, click the arrow next to the response.
  6. After clicking the arrow, select Delete next to the response.
  7. Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete response.
  8. The response is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered once removed.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping survey data accurate and clean is critical for making reliable business decisions. SurveyMonkey allows users to delete individual responses directly from the Analyze Results dashboard, giving teams full control over their collected data. This capability is especially valuable when test submissions, duplicate entries, or invalid responses need to be removed before analysis. Because deleted responses are permanently removed and cannot be recovered, the process is designed to be deliberate and confirmation-based, protecting data integrity.
