Manage Entries

Purpose

Use Manage Entries to remove saved submissions with safety checks, including preview counts and confirmation prompts.

Prerequisites

• Entries exist in the database.
• Open Reports -> Data Management -> Delete Entries.
• Know exactly which entries can be removed.

What you can do

• Filter by form.
• Filter by status (all, clean, flagged, confirmed spam, confirmed clean).
• Optionally filter by date range.
• See live preview count before deleting.
• Delete only matching entries.
• Use Delete All Entries in the danger zone for full wipe.

Safe deletion workflow

1. Set form, status, and optional date filters.
2. Confirm preview count matches your intent.
3. Click Delete X Entries.
4. Type DELETE in the confirmation modal.
5. Confirm and wait for success message.

Delete-all workflow

1. Use Delete All Entries in the danger zone.
2. Review the warning and total count.
3. Type DELETE and confirm.

Verification checklist

• Preview updates when filters change.
• Success message includes deleted count.
• Entry totals refresh after completion.
• Related tables no longer show removed entries.

Common issues and limits

• Delete button disabled: preview count is zero.
• Unexpected scope: clear filters and re-check preview before confirming.
• Network error during delete: retry after refreshing preview.
• All delete actions are permanent and cannot be undone.

What's Next

• Export data for backup before large cleanup.
• Spam management for spam-specific cleanup tools.
• Form entries to verify remaining records after deletion.
