Use this interactive demo to learn how to delete responses in Microsoft Forms.

‍

Microsoft Forms allows permanent deletion of individual or all responses directly from the Responses tab to clean test data or duplicates.

‍

On your Microsoft 365 main dashboard, click Apps to see all apps.
Click on Forms to open Microsoft Forms.
Open the specific form that contains the data you want to remove.
Click View responses to see all collected feedback before deleting.
Click the three dots menu to reveal more options.
Select Delete all responses to permanently remove all collected data.
Confirm by clicking Delete. Once done, your survey starts fresh with zero responses.
Your responses are now cleared.

📌 Why this matters

Deleting responses keeps your form data accurate and professional, especially when you've collected test submissions, duplicate entries, or responses from the wrong audience. Beyond basic cleanup, this capability lets you reset forms for different campaigns or departments without creating entirely new ones.

You can reuse the same form URL and preserve your question logic while starting with a clean slate. This matters most when response data feeds into reports or analytics where contaminated data would skew your insights and decision-making.
