Whether you're clearing test entries or staying compliant with data privacy regulations, Tally lets you easily delete forms, workspaces, and form submission data. Deleted items are stored in Trash for 90 days before they're permanently deleted, giving you time to restore anything deleted by mistake.

How Trash works

Every item (forms, submissions or workspaces) you delete in Tally goes to Trash first.

Nothing is permanently removed until you explicitly Empty trash, or 90 days pass.

A view of the Trash modal followed by clicking the ‘Empty trash’ call to action, which triggers a warning pop-up that this action cannot be undone. The warning pop-up gets accepted and the trash modal is cleared from its items.

Once an item is permanently deleted (either by you or after 90 days), it cannot be recovered.
