Use these procedures to delete permanently or temporarily inactivate questions on surveys and forms.
Deleting questions or answersDeleting questions or answers
Note: Once you delete a question or an answer, it is permanently gone and all data associated with it is also permanently removed. With questions, you can inactivate the question instead of deleting it. This will retain already-submitted question information. However this option is not available for answers. If you delete an answer, all data for that answer is permanently gone.
