How to delete the submitted content through forms (after downloading them)?
Permalink
I have a form in my website through which visitors submit contents. Now, as the number of visitors goes up, downloading them becomes difficult (I solve it through modifying the php.ini file).
I would like to delete the contents submitted by the visitors through the form. (Of course after I could download them manually). How can I do this? I do not see any option in the dashboard>Reports. Please help.

Experts please look into this issue. Thank you.
the last couple of concrete releases have had a "Delete Response" link, right there, under the submission, after you click "view responses".
i think hes saying the files they uploaded are still in the filemanager or something
oh, i guess that could be a bit of a pain right now. don't think there's really an easy way. suppose you could hack the form block to add those uploaded files to a set or something, to make it easier to find them.
Thank you for your kind attention. Actually I have 3000+ submissions received through one of my forms in my site. I have downloaded all the submissions to excel. Now I want to delete the submissions. Is it possible. I have seen the delete option with each submission. But that is available for one submission at a time. I have 3000+. Any other way?
well, it's probably not what you want to hear, but at the moment you'd probably have to write some kind of script to do this. have it call the same function that's called when you click that "delete response" link.
actually, you could probably do this with phpMyAdmin too, by doing a joined delete on btFormAnswers and btFormAnswerSet.
So I conclude that a newbie like me will not be able to do that.
its not to hard as long as you have some computer knowledge and some idea of how mysql works,
everytime someone submits a form it puts data in those 2 tables, (1 row in each)
there fore you can mass delete entries,
i home that mass delete is to be added to the core though

Well, I do not know how to do a combined delete, but deleted all files in first
btFormAnswers
then
btFormAnswerSet
and it worked great... not hard at all.
Thanks!
