Delete user responses

Last updated: 16 Oct 2026

Use this guide to delete one, several or all responses from a survey. For survey creators.

Before you start

• You cannot recover a response after you delete it.
• Delete a response only when you do not want it in your results. For example, delete a response from a respondent who did not answer questions in order, or who filled out the survey too quickly.

Delete one response

1. Open InPoll and go to the Surveys tab.
2. Select the survey.
3. Click Summary.
4. Click the Responses tab.
5. At the end of the response row, click Show More.
6. Click Delete. A confirmation window opens.

7. Click OK.

You can also delete a response from its own window. Open the response, click Show More and click Delete. InPoll deletes the response at once, without a confirmation.

Delete several responses

1. Open InPoll and go to the Surveys tab.
2. Select the survey.
3. Click Summary.
4. Click the Responses tab.
5. Select the checkbox of each response you want to delete.
6. In the Select Action list, select Delete Selected.
7. Click Apply. A confirmation window opens.
8. Click OK.

Delete all responses

1. Open InPoll and go to the Surveys tab.
2. Select the survey.
3. Click Summary.
4. Click the Responses tab.
5. Select the checkbox in the table header to select every response shown.
6. In the Select Action list, select Delete Selected.
7. Click Apply. A confirmation window opens.
8. Click OK.

Good to know

• If you filter the responses, the checkbox in the table header selects only the responses shown in the list, not all responses.
• You can delete responses at any time.
