Delete Responses
You can delete responses from the Report page. Deleted responses cannot be restored, so please take extra caution when deleting them. Responses exist in one copy, so if you delete them from one report, they will be removed from all reports created for this form. Be aware that the deletion of a large number of responses may take a considerable amount of time. The responses that are not to be blocked can be deleted using the SOAP.

If you run the Standard Report and click the Delete Respondent button there, you will see a list of all completed responses and will be able to remove them. If you need to delete a specific group of responses or remove the 'In Progress' responses in bulk as well, you can delete responses from the Custom Report. Prior to deletion, you may include In Progress responses into such report on the Report Settings page, or set up an Advanced Filter to display only certain responses.
If a large number of responses has been submitted, opening the responses list can take some time; please keep that in mind when opening the responses list.
The 'Not to be blocked' responses can be deleted as well, using the SOAP protocol.
