You can delete surveys and questionnaires you no longer need directly from Survey Manager. Before removing either, the platform checks whether there's content that depends on it. If there is, you'll see a message explaining what to remove first. If not, a confirmation dialog lets you delete it permanently.
- Delete surveys and questionnaires safely, knowing the platform checks for dependencies first
- Get clear guidance on what to remove before deletion can proceed
- Confirm before anything is permanently deleted to avoid accidental data loss
How to Delete a Survey or Questionnaire
- Find the survey or questionnaire you want to delete.
- Click the three-dots menu next to it.
- Select Delete.
- If deletion is blocked, follow the instructions in the message before trying again.
- If there are no dependencies, confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears.
Note: Deletion is permanent. Once confirmed, the item can't be recovered.
When Deletion Is Blocked
Surveys: A survey can't be deleted while it still contains questionnaires. Delete all questionnaires inside the survey first, then delete the survey itself. The blocking message shows the survey name so you know exactly which one is affected.
Questionnaires: A questionnaire can't be deleted while entities are assigned to its scope. Remove all entity assignments first. Click Usage in the blocking dialog to see where the questionnaire is currently assigned.
